A technological event has occurred in the publication area. “Nashr Danesh Innovation Center” is opened. During the opening ceremony, the vice president for science and technology affairs considers a large market for the publication field that can be developed with creative ideas. By injecting innovation into the industry, fundamental changes have occurred in this area.

According to the information center of national elites foundation, Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology affairs, attended a ceremony held in the academic publication center among startup managers, expressing: the current situation in the country is very special. Corona disease has also caused a suitable environment for online startups to operate.

According to Sattari, the publication field has been transformed with the activities of startups. The area has a suitable capacity for the development of startups and knowledge-based companies.

The president of the headquarters for culture knowledge-based economy added: traditional industry actors have no choice but to accept startups and finishes. At first, the country's banking system did not welcome the presence of FinTechs in this area, but today the banks themselves are looking to expand the activities of these new actors.

Sattari continued: the traditional players of the publication area have no choice but to accept startups and the youth. They will fail if they stand against these individuals.

Sattari also asserted: Iran is one of the leading countries in Asia in the field of FinTech. However, in the early days of their activity, there was a lot of opposition.

Sattari regarded a change of attitude as the most important factor for the development of innovation and technology ecosystem in industries. In this regard, he added: this change of attitude has helped fintechs to find their right place in the banking system. If this occurred in the publication industry, innovative changes would have been seen in the area.

According to Sattari, industries of the country will be developed in the near future. For example, there is a banking system, but banks operate virtually. This will happen in all industries, so these industries must have open arms for technological and innovative developments.

The president of the national elites foundation considered the presence of startups in the publication field to be necessary, emphasizing the support of the youth in the development of innovative activities in the industry.

Sattari pointed out the large market of the publication field in the country, adding: if this big market is given to young people and startups, we will definitely see innovative and fundamental innovations in this field. For instance, Sejam system is one of the largest diagnostic systems in the country that has been able to identify one million and 200 identities over a month with the help of young people and artificial intelligence.

A Great Phenomenon

During the event, Mansoor Gholami, the minister of science, research and technology, expressed: the presence of technological startups in this center is indicative of the high scientific ability of the country that must be used properly.
