The initiative follows a proposal by Dr. Mehran Habibi-Rezaei, Head of the Federation of Iran Bioscience Societies (FIrBS), to Dr. Hadi Shirzad, CEO and Board Member of QIDC. The initiative aims to organize expert capabilities and launch the “Marine-Based Economy Working Group,” bringing together leading experts in fisheries, aquaculture, biotechnology, and marine microorganisms.
The meeting took place on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. It brought together leaders and representatives from nearly 20 scientific societies, three specialized federations (Biosciences, Fisheries Sciences, and Natural Resources), and industry pioneers in marine products. Participants evaluated the unique position of Qeshm Island—the largest island in the Persian Gulf—as a regional hub for biotechnology and the knowledge-based economy.
To establish an operational framework and execute joint projects within a clear timeline, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was officially signed between FIrBS (represented by Dr. Habibi-Rezaei) and QIDC (represented by Dr. Shirzad).
