According the vice president for science and technology affairs, the commercialization process is a topic that demands the cooperation of community sections. The mission of the government in this path is paving the way and culture-building to increase the cooperation of the private sector in this area.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology affairs, traveled to Qazvin and expressed during the visit of knowledge-based companies: we have more than 4200 knowledge-based companies that had a sales record of 60 thousand billion tomans last year and will have a considerable sales rate this year. The initiator of this move was the youth who used their creativity to create jobs and wealth. We hope that this move is associated with the same intensity it had in the beginning.

Sattari reminded: the importance of the presence of the youth in the new movement of the economy shows the necessity of considering these individuals as the base of this economy. More than 60% of companies are new and are classified as startups that have been recently established. We have many companies that have a sales rate of several thousand billion tomans and this important phenomenon has transformed the former structures.

Sattari pointed out that commercialization is a comprehensive process and requires the cooperation of all society sections, expressing: all of us are a part of this process. Science and technology parks, universities, research centers, and people on the street and market are a part of the commercialization process. The culture created in this area is important in the role playing of the private sector in the process. As the government, we have attempted to take steps toward the promotion of this culture and paving the way for the presence of the private sector.
