TEHRAN –Iranian knowledge-based companies will showcase their latest products and achievements at Chinano 2024 Expo which is scheduled to be held from October 23 to 25 in Suzhou, China.

The headquarters for the development of nanotechnology, the Innovation and Prosperity Fund, and the Organization for Development of International Cooperation in Science and Technology will support Iranian companies in setting up their pavilions at the Chinano Expo.

Chinano Expo, the most influential nanotechnology event in China, is China's most authentic and the world's largest international expo of nanotechnology exchanges. Consisting of the summit (plenary speeches, breakout sessions, and application forums), exhibition, contest, and matchmaking, Chinano focuses on new materials, nano-tech products, third generation semiconductors, energy and clean technology, and nanobiotechnology to build the premier platform for international communication and exchanges in nanotechnology.

Chinese envoy praises Iran's advancement

On September 18, the Chinese ambassador to Tehran said Iran is a leading country in different fields of technology with significant achievements in certain fields such as nanotechnology.

Cong Peiwu along with some other Chinese officials paid a visit to Tehran’s Pardis Technology Park to get familiar with the technology and innovation ecosystem of the center as well as the companies’ achievements in the field, IRNA reported.

Attending a meeting, the officials exchanged views and explored ways to boost technological ties.

“Some countries become upset with the technological advancement of other nations. They want to hold a monopoly on technology,” the Chinese envoy stressed.

To face these challenges, developing countries need to cooperate closely in all fields, particularly technology, Peiwu added.

Iran a global leader in nano-tech

Iran's achievements in nanotechnology are noteworthy. The increase in scientific publications and sales of nano products proves Iran's rise as a global leader in this field.

One of the industries that have experienced good growth in Iran in recent years is the nanotechnology industry, a subject area that has brought Iran to the impressive fourth place worldwide.

According to StatNano, a leading nanotechnology website, Iran has made great strides in the field of nanotechnology being ranked fourth in terms of nanotechnology publication.

This ranking proves the country’s remarkable scientific development.

The site considers the number of scientific articles to compare scientific progress in nanoscience, technology, and industry.

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials, and devices. The technology promises scientific advancement in many sectors such as medicine, consumer products, energy, materials, and manufacturing. Nanotechnology refers to engineered structures, devices, and systems.

In the past two decades, the world has observed a steady increase in the number of industries producing nano-based products and the number of countries promoting nanotechnology.

More importantly, the ratio of nanotechnology to nominal GDP has increased significantly, suggesting that the contribution of nanotechnology to World GDP has increased. Nanotechnology has also played a key role in the creation of new jobs, Press TV reported.

The nanotechnology sector is a prime example of success in Iran, an arena consisting of expert and program-oriented human resources with significant goals that shine like a jewel in the country’s innovation and technology ecosystem.

With the support of talented academicians and knowledge-based companies, the nanotechnology sector has indigenized many technologies to solve the country's main challenges in various areas, including industry.
