Tehran, Iran – August 25, 2024:
An Iranian knowledge-based product has made significant strides in the global virtual reality (VR) industry by securing a spot as a finalist in the prestigious AIXR XR Awards. The product, designed to enhance educational experiences, has been recognized for its innovative use of XR technology to address educational gaps.
The AIXR XR Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars of augmented reality," celebrate outstanding achievements in the VR industry. Attendees include some of the biggest names in the field, making it a highly competitive event.
The Iranian product stands out among other finalists by leveraging XR technology to create immersive and interactive training experiences. Specifically, it facilitates the repair of automatic car gearboxes, a complex and expensive task that is often inaccessible to many students. By providing a virtual environment for hands-on learning, the product helps to democratize education and reduce the risks associated with the repair process.
The product's unique features and its potential to revolutionize education have garnered significant attention from the international community. If it wins the AIXR XR Award, it could further solidify Iran's position as a global leader in knowledge-based industries.
The nomination of this Iranian product comes at a time of unprecedented growth for the country's knowledge-based companies. In just over a year, the number of such companies has increased by over 200 percent, reflecting the nation's commitment to innovation and technology. This surge in growth is attributed to the supportive policies implemented by the Iranian government, which aim to foster a productive and innovative environment.
The late President Ebrahim Raisi played a crucial role in promoting the development of knowledge-based companies. Under his leadership, the number of these companies doubled, and their total value reached two billion dollars.
The Iranian knowledge-based sector has also made significant contributions to the country's economy through exports. In the previous Iranian calendar year, these companies exported over 3.6 million tons of products, valued at $2.506 billion. While the majority of exports went to neighboring countries like Iraq and the UAE, there is also growing demand for Iranian knowledge-based products in other regions of the world.
