Role of brokers in developing knowledge-based markets

Iran’s vice president for scientific and technological affairs says interdisciplinary skills are as important as interdisciplinary degree programs. 

Rouhollah Dehghani Firouzabadi added that some knowledge-based companies are not familiar with mechanisms used to commercialize and sell products and they are only producers of technologies. Dehghani Firouzabadi also said this is where brokers can be of help to knowledge-based companies. 

He was speaking at the meeting of managers and technical brokers of Iranian markets at the premises of Iran House of Innovation and Technology in Tehran’s international fair. 

Dehghani Firouzabadi noted that anyone who works as a broker must have several skills and he needs to know the language of business, alongside that of technology, in order to link knowledge-based entities to the market. He maintained that a broker has to live with knowledge-based companies. 

The vice president said today’s world is the one of networking and communication, and brokers play a crucial role in this regard.
