Farhangian University President Highlights Tech Exhibitions as Economic Catalysts at INOTEX 2026

During a visit to the Iran International Innovation & Technology Exhibition (INOTEX), Mohammadi outlined a strategic vision for expanding the participation of academic institutions in the national innovation ecosystem. According to the INOTEX 2026 News Center, such platforms are essential for aligning fragmented economic and technological sectors.

Key strategic recommendations and operational insights highlighted include:

• Expanded University Integration: Moving beyond traditional startup and corporate participation to actively involve diverse academic institutions in shaping and promoting the event's outcomes.
• Student-Teacher Engagement: Leveraging the university's 15,000 student-teachers in Tehran Province as future educators and effective ambassadors to promote startups, companies, and investment opportunities within their communities.
• Economic Synergy: Utilizing exhibitions as structured matchmaking platforms to connect creative innovators lacking capital with investors seeking viable ideas, thereby completing the "economic puzzle."
• Idea Commercialization Pathways: Providing dedicated spaces within tech exhibitions for unexpected innovators within the academic community to present their ideas, facilitating their transition from concept to tangible production.

Mohammadi concluded that in an interconnected global economy, no sector can operate in isolation, and sustained economic prosperity requires structured, collaborative platforms that actively support and amplify knowledge-based enterprises.
