During the ceremony, Sattari stated: Qazvin is an effective and important province owing to its capacity of creative human resources and innovation. There are suitable infrastructures for economy of resistance in the province. However, the problems and barriers must be removed with the help of the governor and other provincial units.

Pointing out that the results of the trip will be operationalized at a fast space, Sattari added: support for the development of infrastructure from science and technology parks, growth and innovation centers, but the development and expansion of activities requires empathy between all to see serious activities in the field of knowledge-based economy.

He also expressed: we do not see any special changes in the views and attitudes of the knowledge-based companies in the main universities of Qazvin. Fortunately, the province's science and technology park has enjoyed better growth and development.
