The Deputy for Science, Technology, and Economy of the Presidential Office considered recognizing the market, finding suitable subjects, products, and technologies as the key to success for knowledge-based companies and added: It is essential for companies and accelerators to know what product they are developing, what level of technology it requires, and what market need it addresses, and based on that, what potential level of success they can achieve. This understanding is crucial to turning an idea, product, or service into a success.

Dehghani referred to supporting exemplary and inspiring movements in the development of knowledge-based products and stated: Some of these companies and their movement trends are indeed exemplary and inspiring. The activities of TAPESH Accelerator fall under the category of motivating actions; the strength of this accelerator lies in its market-oriented approach and its focus on the prioritized needs of the medical equipment market. We should not forget that the initial production point is within medical centers, hospitals, and the market of this field. This establishment, with a good understanding of the market and the country’s needs, has been successful in producing and developing some widely-used and efficient medical items, which has resulted in noteworthy exports.
