Iran is looking to expand cooperation with Indonesia in advanced technology fields, including nanotechnology, biotechnology and the peaceful use of nuclear applications. Iran’s Ambassador to Indonesia, Mohammad Boroujerdi, said Tehran is offering technology transfer, joint ventures and fully funded scholarships for Indonesian students.
Boroujerdi said Iran is working to connect Iranian and Indonesian companies so that potential partnerships can be turned into concrete projects.
“We are facilitating cooperation between Iranian and Indonesian companies,” Boroujerdi said in a special interview with ANTARA at the ANTARA Museum in Jakarta on Friday.
Iran, Boroujerdi said, has developed capabilities in emerging technologies, including the production of medical equipment and agricultural technology. He added that Indonesia has shown strong interest in collaborating in those sectors.
Iran has also built close ties with several Indonesian government institutions on technology transfer, including cooperation related to drones. Boroujerdi emphasized that drones are not limited to a single purpose and can be used for a range of peaceful applications in agriculture and other parts of the economy.
Talks between companies from both countries are ongoing and can be pursued through webinars or reciprocal visits to Indonesia and Iran. The Iranian Embassy in Jakarta, he said, is ready to help facilitate contacts if Indonesian companies are seeking partnerships.
Boroujerdi added that Iran is prepared to establish factories in Indonesia as part of its technology transfer efforts. He also said Iran is offering full scholarships for Indonesian students in science and technology to study at universities or undergo training at Iranian companies and factories.
Iran remains committed to further negotiations and cooperation with Indonesia in advanced technology sectors despite what Boroujerdi described as regional pressure and threats from some foreign countries. He said he has informed the Indonesian government about the scholarship program.
