An Overview on IRAN Biotechnology
4
The biotechnology sector in Iran has the potential to improve
productivity, health and environmental sustainability, but it
could dramatically change current business models and economic
structures.
Iran’s efforts to transform from natural resource-based economy
towards a knowledge-based economy are reflected in its science,
technology and innovation policies.
Iran has set targets for biotechnology development to 2025,
including becoming the regional leader in biotechnology and
tenth in the world, and increasing its share of the global
biotechnology market to 3 percent from its present estimated
share of around 0.62 percent.

The BDC was established in 2005 under Vice-presidency for
Science and Technology of Iran as a biotechnology coordinating
body and implementing agency to help the country reach the
targets established by government.
The main reference of policy-making, planning, coordination and
monitoring in the field of biotechnology and bioeconomy.
Main Target: 3 percent of Global biotechnology market at 2025

Dust Crisis
Based on the water shortage
in specific provinces
(specially arid and semi-arid
zones), Iran tackling with soil
salinity and dust problems.
Right now there is 500,000
Ha of area as dust origins.
