TEHRAN- Iranian nanotechnology companies export their products, equipment, and services to 58 countries.The exports increased by 53 percent
in the Iranian calendar year 1400 (March 2021-March 2022) compared to the preceding year, ISNA reported.In the Iranian calendar year 1398
expansion of export programs, especially in recent years, has led to the entry of Iranian nanotechnology products, equipment, and services
into global markets.The three countries of Iraq, Turkey, and Lebanon were the most important destinations for Iranian nanotechnology
products with $21.5 million, $12.4 million, and $9.3 million of imports, respectively.By the end of the year 1400 (March 2022), a total of
280 companies were active in the nanotechnology field, and the total revenue amounted to 203 trillion rials (almost $407 million).In the
same year, exports of nanotechnology equipment and services rose by 59 percent and 108 percent, respectively.Current status of nanotech
companiesBy the end of the first Iranian calendar month Farvardin (April 20), 346 companies have been active in the field of nanotechnology
in the country.The companies produced 1,911 products and 241 pieces of equipment, supplying them to the market, IRNA reported.According to

Revolution on November 15.Policy making and planning for progress in nanotechnology started in 2003 with the formation of a special
headquarters for the development of nanotechnology, and accelerated with the approval of the first 10-year document for the development of
nanotechnology entitled "Future Strategy Document".In this document, Iran was targeted to be among the top 15 nanotechnology countries in
The general approach of the first ten-year document was the training of human resources and the provision of infrastructure for the
development and commercialization of technology.In order to continue the nanotechnology progress, the upcoming national document has been
compiled with new goals and approaches such as being a reference in science and technology, industrialization, maximum impact of
the advancements of nanotechnology in Iran will improve the quality of life and the production of wealth
The country moves towards global authority in science and nanotechnology by producing innovative products while having a stable place in the
market of other countries.Some 42 percent of the products in this field are related to construction, more than 17 percent to the field of
oil, gas, and petrochemicals, 13 percent to the field of automobiles, and over 10 percent to the field of optoelectronics.MT/MG
