According to the report of the Communication and Information Center in the Vice Presidency of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, Ruhollah Dehghani's New Year message states: Another year has passed with all ups and downs, sweets and bitterness, successes and failures and with a bag of experiences. And we started learning new things in the new year.

However, the year 2023 was full of growth and blossoms in the innovation and technology ecosystem of Iran. In the past year, the Vice Presidency of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy started a new chapter of its life with structural changes and moving in the direction of leapfrogging production and realization of the knowledge-based economy.

   Developments that remove obstacles and pave the way for the participation of knowledge-based companies and people in the field of production and the development of knowledge-based economy were among its most important approaches.

From the establishment of new knowledge-based economy headquarters to the implementation of the new regulations for the evaluation of knowledge-based companies, and from the formulation of new support programs such as the allocation of tax credit to research and development activities and the provincial cutting program of knowledge-based economy to the establishment of the intangible assets valuation system, there are promising changes and developments. It made a lot of progress in the country's innovation and technology ecosystem during the past year, which promises huge achievements and successes in the very near future.

The significant and rapid growth of the number of knowledge-based companies and the increase of about 200% of the country's knowledge-based exports in the last one year, shows the proper foundation, dynamism and leapfrog growth in the innovation and technology ecosystem of the country and a favorable environment in line with the realization of this year's slogan of "Production leap with people's participation" has been provided in the field of knowledge-based economy of the country.

Now, on the eve of the spring of nature and the new year, which in the auspicious meeting with the blessed month of the divine banquet, refreshment and blessings have been found a hundredfold, with the ancient Nowruz greetings and happiness, I pray from the Almighty God that the new year for the dear people of Iran, be accompanied by health and blessings and may the efforts of the scientific ecosystem, technology and knowledge-based economy of the country be full of success and lasting achievements.

Successes and achievements, the sweet fruits of which will sweeten the taste of the dear people of Iran.
