According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Fariba Fahim Yahyaii, the vice president of research and technology of management and planning organization, expressed on the visit of the fourth national festival and exhibition of medical plants, natural products, and Iranian medicine (traditional): the main strength of this exhibition is promoting the achievements of Iranian knowledge-based companies.

He expressed: during the visit of the exhibition section, we encountered products that are globally registered. This shows that the outputs in the area of medical plants and natural products are commercialized and globally registered. However, we need to increase informing about these products in the domestic market.

Fahim Yahyaii continued: this exhibition plays the best role in informing and raising the awareness of the public, investors, and authorities of this field. Fortunately, the Vice-Presidency has been able to support knowledge-based companies in the area of technology development in the past few years.

He continued: in the fourth national festival and exhibition of medical plants, natural products and Iranian medicine, the result of the cooperation between the Vice-Presidency and the private sector, which includes the development of various companies in this field, is observed. This growth is not only observed in the domestic market, but also it can be found in global markets.

The fourth national festival and exhibition of medical plants, natural products and Iranian medicine (traditional) will be held November 11^th-14^th 2018 in Musala of Tehran by the efforts of the medicinal plants and traditional medicine sciences and technologies development headquarter.
