According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, as a powerful country due to having a specialized human resource and various facilities, Iran has the ability to obtain an appropriate position in various fields. Therefore, support of domestic activists in various industrial fields must be regarded as a necessity.

The marine knowledge-based industries and technology development headquarter has adopted proper policies and supports to implement a special program for the development of marine technologies and providing materials and equipment in this field. The number of companies of this field have increased from 12 enterprises in 2014 to 42 companies in the first quarter of the year.

In the modern competitive world, achieving a competitive advantage, whether in small or large national areas, has been turned into an undeniable necessity. As a developing country, Iran has realized the importance of acquiring competitiveness in the national and global areas.

Without a doubt, one of the fundamental factors for achieving this goal is creating economic added value obtained from innovation and commercialization of technology. In addition, this goal will be realized in the form of establishment of knowledge-based companies.

Today, economic growth and sustainable development of countries rely on the production of science and technology. In this regard, one of the solutions is effective communication between universities and industry. Therefore, the website of “IMARINE (marina database of Iran)” is launched with the support of marine knowledge-based industries and technologies development headquarter.

According to this report, the marine knowledge-based industries and technologies development headquarter has aimed to review the condition of marine companies in its marine statistics letter to evaluate their current situation.
