According to the website of Iran National Innovation Fund, 12 knowledge-based companies specializing in aviation and space technology were financed to participate in the event held in the city of Zhukovsky from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1.
Yaser Arabnia, an official with INIF, told reporters that one of the domestic companies reached an agreement with a Russian firm for the export of technological products.
