The president’s vice president for science, technology and knowledge-based economy said that technology brokers should have tools, like real estate companies, that knowledge-based companies must refer to, provided that no monopoly is created
According to Iran digital economy annotation, Ruhollah Dehghani Firouzabadi said at the technology trade event about the importance of technology brokers: the most important pillar of a knowledge-based economy is its brokers. Suppose you have factories, power plants, hospitals and facilities in a whole city, but you don’t have electricity transmission and wiring system.
The value of the electrical wiring and transmission system is nothing compared to the rest, but if the transmission network does not work, the city sleeps. The importance of science and technology trade brokerage is like the electricity transmission network.
He continued: In 2018, in a famous interview, I said that I am against the direct connection between the industry and the university. In that interview, I said that the country needs an active and efficient brokerage network. Be aware that technology business is different from product and technological solution business. Each has its own world.
Some lessons from real estate companies
The president’s science and technology vice president introduced real estate companies as a good example for technology brokers and said: Which economy in the country is more popular, alive and dynamic than other economies? I think housing. Suppose real estate companies are removed from tomorrow. People have to knock on individual houses to find their own house. In this case, the system is completely destroyed. But the ecosystem will not collapse if our technology business brokers are not there. This shows that a job is not right.
In explaining this issue, he added: Real estate companies themselves were once real estate developers and are familiar with this field, so it is impossible for science and technology brokers not to do so. Is the level of specialized knowledge and experience of our brokers really sufficient?
The vice president also said: The third issue is brokerage techniques. In the company, supply and demand finally meet and a deal is made. The company takes half of the share from the seller and half of the share from the buyer. He doesn’t just buy and sell and he knows different things.
A comprehensive system of knowledge-based companies will be created
Dehghani Firouzabadi announced the creation of a new system in the next year: the comprehensive system of knowledge-based companies will be launched in 2024. All specifications and products and the amount and sales of the companies will be made available in a free and transparent manner.
This government official added about the importance of technology brokerage in the knowledge-based economy: We must improve the technology trade brokerage system in the private sector. In order to form them, in addition to choosing experienced people, we must also consider tools.
He pointed to the tools of making the brokers’ market attractive and said: “Government has given a series of regulatory tools to the real estate company, which is in the interest of the customer and the buyer who comes to him to purchase the property.” We should also provide a series of tools to technology brokers for companies to go to. Tell the company that if you act through a broker, you can get a loan. Support tools for knowledge-based companies and consumers should be dependent on the use of technology brokers in a way that does not create a monopoly.
The presence of Iranian technology consultants in four parts of the world
Sajad Ahadzadeh, the head of the Presidential Development and Cooperation Center, also said in this conference: the chain of ideas to wealth cannot be formed without technology trade. The difference between the Soviet Union and the United States was in this issue. The Soviet Union was a leader in the field of technology, but it did not have the market.
Ahadzadeh said: The Center for Development and Progress Cooperation is the only reference for dispatching technology advisors in the country. We send technology advisors to four centers. The first region was cis countries centered in Moscow, the European Union centered in Vienna, India and the subcontinent centered in New Delhi and China, and East Asia and Vietnam centered in China are the places of activity of these advisors.
He further stated: The share of knowledge-based companies in GDP is 0.67%. Talking about technology business means to increase this percentage. In the way of international trade, this center has established foundations.
