The knowledge-based production leap law and the opportunity to participate in the country's economy

In this ceremony, Dehghani considered the beginning of the process in supporting the technology ecosystem and innovation in the country with the measures taken by the Supreme Leader since 2010 and with the approval of the law to support knowledge-based companies and institutions. A law that had positive effects in the field of quantitative increase of concepts and collections including technology parks, innovation centers, accelerators and infrastructure development, etc., which resulted in the formation of 8 thousand knowledge-based companies and the transformation of the discourse of science and technology and the knowledge economy. Based on the dominant discourse of the officials and managers of the country, it is considered one of the other achievements of the law in the country.

According to Dehghani, for future goals and to continue this path, it is not possible to invest only on these quantities and the multitude of different structures. For this reason, to achieve the set goals, we should seek to improve productivity and create added value and create a knowledge-based economy from the activities of knowledge-based and technological companies.

The vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economy continued: This goal became the important mission in the vice presidency of science to move based on the leaping knowledge-based production leap law and a new perspective in the existing platforms to achieve a knowledge-based economy.

The head of National Elites Foundation stated that perhaps less than 10 countries have access to a law similar to the knowledge-based production leap law for their scientific and technological development, adding: if we seek to fully implement the law, we will definitely reach a correct economic model and a 10% share of knowledge-based companies will be realized from the gross national product.

He considered the perceptible entry of knowledge-based economy into people's lives as essential and said: People should feel the sweetness of this economic model in their daily lives, because in our opinion, people are the main pillar of streamlining, stability and growth in any society.

Ruhollah Dehghani continued: It is the people who give credit and value to governments and financial systems and warm or stagnate the market of a product. Because people act on the basis of a collective intelligence that is completely intelligent and alert. Therefore, if the impact of knowledge-based economy is felt in people's lives, we can hope that people's liquidity will enter the knowledge-based flow.

Giving an example about the importance of people's acceptance of the knowledge-based flow, Dehghani said: for example, in the field of digital economy, due to the empty market of service platforms; The entry of knowledge-based companies was supported, and this event brought people's luck and caused people to have a serious need for the Internet, and a strong link was formed between people's economy and Internet networks.

The vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economy, emphasizing that after natural resources, brains, talents and owners of science and technology constitute the biggest economic opportunity of the country, he added: we must accept that there are sanctions and currency problems in the country and to neutralize these problems, we need to use brainware that is based on technology and soft innovations.

He pointed to talents, cheap and brilliant manpower, low energy costs and infrastructures and considered it a suitable opportunity for the scientific and technological development of the country and added: We should try to benefit from these existing advantages in the right way.

The vice president of science, technology, and knowledge-based economics said: People's desire to buy real estate, coins, and cars is because they are trying to preserve their capital and survival. If we can prove to people the thousand-fold added value in the field of basic knowledge, we can attract their funds.

He continued: It is very important for people to know that they can be productive and effective in the economic spheres instead of mere brokers.

He added: To achieve new achievements, we must have new tools. For example, in order to realize modern banking, we need to have a modern banking system, and this does not happen in the context of traditional banking.

Dehghani considered the presence of young people as necessary to achieve these changes and stated: To have a new financing system and to achieve innovative financial technologies, we must take advantage of the capabilities of our young scientists.

Referring to the existence of 8,000 knowledge-based companies in the country, the vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economics said: This ecosystem needs a banking system, a bank, a financing system and other dedicated tools, and the vice presidency of science is ready to cooperate in this field.
