According to the public relations of the Actover Group, Dr. Ali Naraghi at the opening of the pharmaceutical and food accelerator said: “This Corporation is the result of thinking about creation of a link between industry and the university. My father’s dream was to connect the university with industry, and to encourage people. Actotech is the first step of this process. The Actover group consists of a pharmaceutical and food complex, and given the current situation in the community and the COVID-19 virus, it is very difficult to maintain this complex; however, all the staff of this complex do their best, and as you can see, we succeeded in creating a new facility and make this family bigger.

Later at this ceremony, Dr. Mohammad Pirvaram, member of the board and director of the executive department, added: “The missing link between industry and universities are accelerators. Unfortunately, there are key projects in universities that are far from the reality of industry, and industry always has needs that can be met by the university and the help of modern science. Actover Pharmaceutical and Food Industry Group is one of the pioneers that entered this field seriously and has tried to fully advance its projects in this field. In fact, the reality of pharmacy and chemistry schools is very different from the current needs of the world.

Nowadays, along with conventional drugs, biotech drugs also have a special place. By linking research with factories, the Actotech complex strives to enable postgraduate students to use the new molecules and cells applied in biotechnology drugs and make this industrialized. In the field of science, we tried to work with Dr. Najjari to complete projects in this regard; we will have good news soon. Due to the presence of COVID-19, Actotech along with scientists in this field, could achieve the localization of COVID-19 detection kits. What has happened at Actotech is a breakthrough in the industry of new products and drugs that can help to improve people’s lifestyle.

Furthermore, Er. Ali Reza Ebrahimi, Commercial and Export Manager of AmadaehLaziz, added: “AmadehLaziz Corporation has a unique talent in the country and according to the needs of the society and ready-made food, plays an essential role in the healthy food sector. We have been producing healthy food and specialized ingredients for about 3 years. The Actotech complex is the right decision for the implementation of food and medicinal projects, and for the beginning of the work, the AmadehLaziz complex has started two national projects of light sugar and seed to prevent disease and community health and is well-received by specialized organizations.

In the end, Dr. Najjari, one of the scientific characters present at the ceremony, said: “Considering the weather conditions of the country, along with companies such as October, we should go toward seed production companies that are compatible with our climatic conditions. Such activities in the country should have a scientific infrastructure and the presence of accelerator companies is the primary step of these activities. Our country’s dignity will be crushed if we depend on other countries for the production of agricultural products. Thanks to the Actover group for the trust and cost it has placed on the project, it should be noted that not all projects will reach the final result; although, Actotech has accepted this risk, and has invested in this sector.
