On Thursday, top officials from Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Serbia, Honduras, China, and Vietnam gathered in Tehran to learn about Iran’s growing progress in nanotechnology. The meeting was organized by the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-based Economy.
The event focused on how Iran is using nanotechnology in healthcare. Delegates learned about new ways Iran applies nanotech in disease detection, treatment, and public health improvements. The organizers shared the country’s success in building a strong local nanotech industry.
Emad Ahmadvand, who works with Iran’s Nano and Micro Technologies Innovation Council, shared data about Iran’s rise in nanotech research. He said the number of scientific studies has gone up and that more Iranian companies now make nano-based products. These products are used in hospitals, labs, and drug manufacturing. Many of them are now being prepared for export.
Another speaker at the event was Mohammad Mehdi Seifi, who leads health and medical business development at the Council. He explained how Iran uses nanotech to find illnesses early, make medicine more effective, and improve public health systems. He said nanoparticles are used to deliver medicine directly to the affected parts of the body, which helps patients heal faster with fewer side effects.
Iran’s progress in nanotechnology has been widely recognized. According to the global site StatNano, Iran is among the top five countries in the world when it comes to the number of nanotech research papers. This shows how much the country has invested in science, even during times of economic pressure and global sanctions.
The country now has over 300 knowledge-based companies working with nanotech. These companies are creating real-world solutions in healthcare, energy, agriculture, and food safety. Many of them are supported by the government and local universities.
The foreign delegates who attended the event showed interest in working more closely with Iran. They discussed possible partnerships in research, student training, and shared production. Some countries, like Cuba and Venezuela, already work with Iran in medical projects. Others, like Vietnam and Serbia, are exploring new ways to cooperate in science and technology.
This meeting reflects how countries can use technology to connect, grow, and improve lives. Iran hopes its nanotech achievements can help other nations, especially in areas where medical resources are limited.
