Demonstrate industrial and mineral achievements
Managing Director of Iran International Exhibitions Company: Supporting the country's exhibition industry, which is the most effective marketing tool in the contemporary world, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the prosperity of the industry and mining sector and the return of prosperity to it.
According to the International Exhibition of Iranian Stone, July 10 is a day of gratitude and appreciation for the activists in the field of industry and mining and all the valuable workers of this productive economic sector who work hard in the most difficult conditions for the country's economic development.
The industry and mining sector plays a valuable role in our national economy in terms of job creation, earning foreign exchange earnings, achieving export goals and meeting the country's needs for all kinds of essential goods and saving foreign exchange. Last year, the share of the industry and mining group in Iran's GDP was more than 25 percent, making it the most important economic sector after the service sector.
To show the importance of this sector in creating jobs, it is enough to point out that more than twenty-eight percent of the country's working population, that is, seven and eight million of our dear compatriots, are employed in industry and mining. The share of industry and mining in the country's non-oil exports is more than 80%, which shows how well companies, institutions and companies active in industry and mining play a role in exporting and earning foreign exchange earnings in the current sensitive situation.
Due to its importance for the industry and mining sector, the International Exhibitions Company of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in general, all exhibition centers in the country, a significant part of the exhibitions held during the year to introduce the capabilities, capacities and industrial and mineral achievements of the country and Marketing is dedicated to the units active in the field of production and export.
The export of more than thirty-five to forty billion dollars of industrial and mineral goods each year is undoubtedly due to the holding of hundreds of specialized, international and private exhibitions inside and outside the country by our country's exhibition centers.
Studies show that our country, with more than seventy types of valuable minerals in the amount of fifty-seven billion tons, of which thirty-seven billion can be exploited, ranks 15th in the world in the mining sector. Appropriate use of these reserves will undoubtedly play an effective role in strengthening the country's foreign exchange strength and creating new job opportunities and meeting the needs of production units. Supporting the country's exhibition industry, which is the most effective marketing tool in the contemporary world, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the prosperity of the industry and mining sector and the return of prosperity to it.
