The envisioned technology tower is set to become a cutting-edge scientific center devoted to research in medical and veterinary vaccines, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and other modern technologies. This initiative is seen as essential for enhancing Iran's scientific and technological landscape as Razi Institute approaches its second century of operation.

Dr. Golmohammadi highlighted the critical role of innovation and new technologies in addressing future challenges. "As we reflect on a century of achievements, it is vital that we begin this new century with a forward-thinking strategy," he stated. He underscored the significance of the President's visit, which demonstrates a profound recognition of the institute's strategic importance in national health initiatives.

The discussions also touched on the necessity for self-sufficiency and preparedness against emerging infectious diseases, stressing the importance of not being caught off guard by future health crises similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. The technology tower is designed to embody the institute's and the nation’s commitment to forward-looking health solutions.

Dr. Ali Es-haghi, Director General of Razi Institute, expressed gratitude for President Pezeshkian's support of the technology tower project, viewing it as a pivotal move toward bolstering the national innovation ecosystem and advancing science in the realms of human and animal health. He noted the project was initiated directly at the President’s suggestion, and the suggestion is now approaching its final stages for launching.

Highlighting the tower's ambitious scope, Dr. Es-haghi explained that it would reflect national innovation across fields such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and vaccine development, featuring state-of-the-art laboratories and infrastructure.

He asserted that Razi Institute, with its rich history, skilled workforce, and technical resources, is well-equipped to participate in this transformative project. However, he emphasized that collaboration with leading technology companies and robust governmental support will be critical for its successful realization.

In closing, Dr. Es-haghi called for unity and strong collaboration among all faculty members, researchers, and staff at Razi Institute. “Maximized solidarity is essential to enhance our institute's standing and ensure this project’s success, ultimately positioning Razi as a beacon of scientific innovation in both Iran and the wider region,” he concluded.
