The complete text of this speech is presented below:

In the name of God

Ladies and Gentlemen;

There is a missing notion among us, something extremely valuable. Now that we spend the coldest days and longest nights, now that the world has remained in suspicion of peace and hostility, love and hatred, freedom and captivity, and kindness and mischief, a missing issue will properly guide us toward good deeds. “Faith and hope”. Yes, faith and hope are our missing pieces of puzzle. Hope and faith in brighter future and a proud Iran.

Dear audiences;

This is a scientific and cultural gathering and I do not want to pollute it with political issues and thoughts. However, the enemies of Iran seek the destruction of the faith and hope of our society.

Nature has thought us movement. One of the secrets of creativity that moving leads to the placing of everything in their right position. Knowledge and culture are the driving wheels of the society. Nonetheless, what gives power to these wheels is faith and hope. Without a doubt, integration of faithful culture and knowledge will improve our current status.

Dear elites- dear friends of “Made in Iran”

I will be brief; numerous motivated youth are active today, each of whom have a high tendency toward improvement and construction. Several scientists, elites, experts, and researchers have the knowledge of creation and building. In addition, there are compassionate and sympathetic managers and authorities in this field who wish a brighter future for all of us. Our people await these works to pay off and greatly support them.

The warmth of hope and faith in our belongings and in our ability to make things done will eliminate the coldness of these unkind and unfair days. Faith and hope to what we have and demand from foreigners is the secret to our freedom. However, I mean faith in “Made in Iran”.

But, what happened on the second “Made in Iran”;

The second national, cultural, and art festival of “Made in Iran” was held with the goals of mainstreaming and content production for cyberspace related to the cycle of commercialization, entrepreneurship and knowledge-based economy, support of Iranian-made knowledge-based products and services, organizing excessive import and valuating high-quality Iranian products and services, and helping the branding of high-quality Iranian products. It should be noted that various sections of the festival include literature, visual arts, audiovisual economy, digital media and idea market and student section and with the slogan of “Iranians must buy Iranian products”.

From a total of 2838 works received, 474 works were exhibited in the literature section, whereas 840, 923, 264, and 230 works were displayed in sections of visual arts, audiovisual, digital media, and idea market, respectively. Meanwhile, the selected works were displayed in the house of artists for five days.

This event seeks the strenghtening of a space, which is created with division of labor and interaction of the government from one side and producers, people, and consumers from the other side. Fortunately, “Made in Iran” asks the mentioned people to support national products with pride.

Dear esteemed audience;

Hope is created in the positive and continuous impact of the private sector on various parts. I hope that the festival is considered by the people and the private sector more than before, who themselves demand the sustainability of this national move.

However, formation and establishment of startups that are active in content production field in this path is achievable. This wish is the last circle of completion of the “made in Iran” thought.

Hereby, I extend my gratitude to all of those who assisted us in holding the second national, cultural, and art festival of “Made in Iran”, including artists, judges, members of the secretariat, especially Dr. Sattari. I would also like to thank all media activists who helped us in distribution and promotion of goals of “Made in Iran” in any way possible. In this end, I hope ever-growing faith and hope in all activists in the fields of science, culture, and art in creating a proud Iran.

The second national, cultural and art festival of “Made in Iran” will be held December 25^th-29^th, 2018 with the goals of mainstreaming and content production for cyberspace related to the cycle of commercialization, entrepreneurship and knowledge-based economy, support of Iranian-made knowledge-based products and services, organizing excessive import and valuating high-quality Iranian products and services, and helping the branding of high-quality Iranian products. It should be noted that various sections of the festival include literature, visual arts, audiovisual economy, digital media and idea market and student section, which will be carried out by the efforts of the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter and with the help of Parviz Karami, secretary of the mentioned headquarter. The closing ceremony was held December 29^th 2018 in Vahdat Hall.
