During the closing ceremony of Kudak Online Festival, the vice president for science and technology affairs emphasized the supportive role of the government in the ecosystem based on soft technologies, demanding the government to stop directly mediating in the field of content production.

According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, Sorena Sattari expressed: in the Vice-Presidency, we believe that the path of development of soft technologies is realized by developing the ecosystem.

Although we are keenly committed to the development of such an indigenous ecosystem, it must always be remembered that the role of the state is not to interfere in such indigenous bias and to support its formation.

The president of the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter mentioned the necessity of correct policy-making in the field, adding: the role of the government is first and foremost to provide eco-friendly infrastructures. The government should not be directly involved in content production. This is also the case in the knowledge-based economy, and the role of the government is more to determine boundaries and trails. This is what needs to be achieved in order to flourish in the field of innovation and to achieve the intended goals in the area of content production.

Sattari continued: If Farsi language is the ninth Internet language in the world today despite the country"s demographic scale, we should owe it to content production. When there is a site in the country like Aparat, which is one of the top 100 most viewed sites in the world, and its content is in Farsi, it comes from the power of content production. In addition, five-six thousand years of art and love for handicrafts in the country are the sign of power and belongings in the field of soft technology.

In addition to mentioning the subtleties and minutes of management in the cultural and content production sector, Sattari marked: I have always said that a movie will sell when people make queues to watch it. Culture is not transferred with free CDs. Similarly, an animation is effective when children are passionately waiting to watch it. Then, we can say that investment in the field of content production has been effective. However, it is our duty to support this dynamic move.

The closing ceremony of Kudak Online Festival was held in the presence of Azari Jahromi, the minister of information technology and communication, Ahmad Masjed Jamei, a member of city council, and several artists and authorities. During the event, the selected works in the sections of short films and web series received awards. Iraj Tahmasb and Marzieh Boroumand were among the referees of the festival.
