I and some of my colleagues become founding father of The R&D
Society of Iranian Industries & Mines (RDS) which has more than 1400
companies as members from different industrial sectors. RDS with its
members is the holder of around 20% of Iran’s GDP.

Major duties of the RDS are as follows:



1. Identification of the research capabilities and capacities of the
research and development units of the industrial centers and helping the
members to benefit from their research potential abilities

2. Coordination among research & development units in order to
compile executive approaches in order to choose suitable technology,
compilation and definition of the executive principles needed for
transfer of technology based on industrial requirements of the society,
cooperation, and seeking for improved approaches needed for attraction
and naturalization of the transferred technologies.



The society also aims at nurturing the R&D activities of its member
companies by offering state-of-the-art training services by organizing
industry-specific courses, industrial visits, and holding annual
conferences and workshops.
