Ruhollah Dehghani, Vice President of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, pointed out that it is an outstanding form of elite in the field of work and entrepreneurship, and continued: This group is an elite group in the true sense of the word, because creative and innovative activists in the field of work and industry have elite capacities.

Emphasizing that the definition and perspective of an elite worker should be explained and separated, he said: A worker who solves a problem in the industry, but does not have academic knowledge and literacy, does something mainly of creativity, and a person with expertise and a doctorate degree is working in the industry, doing something related to technology; Both are elite, but one is riding on the wings of creativity and innovation and the other on the wings of technology and knowledge.

The head of the National Elites Foundation, pointing out that influence in the society is the most important measure and standard of the elite, continued: The difference between elite and talented is that the work of effort and experience has been added to it. Working and striving in the divine path and serving the country has the characteristic of elite in its heart. That is, it is important that what we do, due to our innovation and effort, heals the pain of the society, and in this case, we can put the heavy cloak of elite on one person.

Referring to the necessary arrangements made to support the top talents and elites in a specialized manner and based on the skills and expertise of these people, he said: In the Vice-Chancellor of Talents, people who need the necessary background to be effective and elite are supported by the Vice-Chancellor of the Foundation. And the deputy of the leaders deals with the elites who have the necessary influence and need a role-playing space and more influence.

Vice President of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy stated: Some university elites are interested in starting their own business. It is not correct to push all elites towards entrepreneurship or scientific work, and people should be guided and supported based on their ability and talent in each of these fields.

Emphasizing the importance of benefiting and supporting human resources specialized in industrial research and development, he said: We do not create real space for corporate research and development, and the view of industrial managers on this category is a burdensome and ceremonial matter. In the field of defense and military, however, this sector has been well considered and its output has been well shown. But in other sectors, there is less belief in managers and this is a complication of our government and industrial structure.

Dehghani emphasized: It is necessary for the Vice-Presidency of Science and the Ministry of Labor and Welfare to start a serious interaction in this area, focusing on the festival of thanksgiving, to learn how to evaluate and select people, how to use their capacity in a targeted manner and based on a long-term planning. The Emtenan festival should be designed in the following periods in such a way that in the form of a problem- and process-oriented event, it will mark the path of growth and development for these people.

Popularization of the economy in the form of benefiting the elites

Referring to the capabilities of the knowledge-based production leap law to support technological research and development in industries with the help of capable and elite human resources, the vice president of science, technology and knowledge-based economy said: the knowledge-based production leap law has a very good capacity to support the ideas of innovative people in the heart of the industry. Tax credit as a source for research and development is foreseen in this law, which can give a new life to research and development in industries and the efforts of innovative people in industries. According to this law, the Vice-Presidency of Science can authorize a company or an industry to spend part of its tax on certain areas of research and development.
