Three projects have been inaugurated in the western province of Ilam to expand technological facilities and support knowledge-based companies in the province.
Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari inaugurated the tech projects and visited knowledge-based firms based at the province’s tech centers during a daylong trip to Ilam late last week, the vice president’s website Isti.ir reported.
A research center for zoonotic diseases at the Medical University of Ilam was the first project launched during Sattari’s visit. The center has been established at a cost of 4.5 billion rials ($18,000).
The vice presidential office is working to establish technology centers in all Iranian provinces depending on their capacities.
Ilam has great potentials in industrial and semi-industrial livestock breeding. Animal husbandry is a source of income for a large part of locals.
The newly-launched center is expected to scientifically and technically support the province’s livestock breeding sector and tap its hidden potentials.
