Iran’s technology ecosystem is expanding in new fields such as agriculture, health and petrochemical industries. 

Tech firms are helping upgrade these sectors while gradually transforming traditional economy into a knowledge-based one.

Agriculture in Iran has a huge unfulfilled potential for technological development. To incorporate modern technologies, the Vice Presidential Office for Science and Technology, Iran National Innovation Fund and Agricultural Research Education and Extension Organization have launched an online event, the vice presidential office’s website Isti.ir reported.

The two-day event, underway since Sunday, is aimed at bridging the technological gaps in domestic agriculture sectors with the help of knowledge-based companies and tech firms working in the field.
