It is small, very small. It has come to our country these days, bringing concern, fear and hopelessness with itself.

Everyone talks about this new disease. “Corona” has become the headline of all global news. However, fake and contradictory news have adversely affected people’s knowledge of the disease and increased their concern. This time, however, we are going to increase synergy among health knowledge-based companies instead of increasing the prevalence of the disease.

Today, the rate of the disease is on a rise in the country. According to Saeed Namaki, the minister of health, this week is very hard for Iranians and we will witness the main peak of the disease.

Meanwhile, adhering to health instructions will help both ourselves and other citizens. In addition, knowledge-based companies and technologists have accompanied people in this path. The importance of these knowledge-based companies is doubled with the presence of the coronavirus in the country.

For instance, Iran has the technology to produce N95 masks. These masks are able to inhibit viruses and bacteria due to their nanofibers and are very useful today. These companies are now producing with all their might to make up for the shortage that has come on the market.

According to Saeed Sarkar, the secretary of the nanotechnology development headquarter, four technological companies are currently active in the field of nano masks. There is 40-50-thousand mask production capacity, which will soon increase to 200 thousand masks. Therefore, there is no concern regarding masks for the medical staff.

#We_will_beat_coronavirus with the Help of the Innovation and Technology Ecosystem”

Recently, a call was announced by the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter entitled “We_will_beat_coronavirus with the Help of the Innovation and Technology Ecosystem”, which is a movement to increase synergy among all players of the innovation and technology ecosystem and take effective steps toward fighting coronavirus.

Knowledge-based companies and other activists of the ecosystem have a high capacity in fields such as vaccine and medicine production, which are currently domesticized in the country. Therefore, their abilities can be used to take an effective step toward beating “corona” in the country.

According to the movement, the Vice-Presidency supports idea and product owners to eliminate the risk of coronavirus in the country.
