TEHRAN – Some 49 domestically-made nanoproducts were displayed at the 13th International Nanotechnology Festival and Exhibition to attract investors and be produced on large scale.

The event is underway in Tehran from October 1 to 4.

The nano startup program was held at the exhibition with the aim of presenting startup products. In the nano startup booth, 40 startups showcased more than 100 technological products.

Also, the exhibition displayed 49 homegrown products to meet the needs of the industries by attracting investors and mass production.

Representatives of India, Syria, Mexico, China, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Brazil, Indonesia, Iraq, and Thailand are expected to hold B2B meetings with Iranian companies at the IranNano exhibition.

Over 1,000 homegrown products from 180 knowledge-based companies are shown in the exhibition.

Business meetings are one of the programs of the nanotechnology exhibition, in which technologists present their abilities or products, and industries also present their needs and conditions for cooperation.

Nanotechnology improvement

One of the industries that have experienced good growth in Iran in recent years, proving the country’s scientific development, is the nanotechnology industry, a subject area that has brought Iran to the world’s fourth place.

Currently, nanotech products are produced and marketed in more than 15 industrial fields based on domestic technologies and are being exported to 49 countries from five continents.

Over the past year (ended March 20), the total sale of Iranian nanoproducts has been equal to 115 trillion rials (nearly $425 million).

The expansion of nanotechnology export programs in recent years and the establishment of bases for exporting nanotechnology products to China, India, Indonesia, Syria, Turkey, and Iraq have provided the opportunity for the entry of Iranian nanotechnology goods, equipment, and services into global markets.

Some 42 percent of the products in this field are related to construction, more than 17 percent to the field of oil, gas, and petrochemicals, 13 percent to the field of automobiles, and over 10 percent to the field of optoelectronics.
