TEHRAN – Vice President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-based Economy Ruhollah Dehqani Firoozabadi said exports by Iran’s knowledge-based companies have reached one billion dollars.
The achievement has been made despite all limitations, he said, adding nearly 1,600 companies were registered as knowledge-based this year, while the figure was 700 and 800 last year. With about 8,000 knowledge-based companies in the country, there is a huge potential that can make a big move if it is managed, he said.
