About and History of House of Industry, Mine and Trade of East Azerbaijan Youth

Scientific capital is a cornerstone of national greatness and authority in today’s world. Although abundant land, underground resources, and other material capacities also contribute to a country’s power, the value of human capital surpasses these resources. Human power determines the optimal utilization of a country’s material resources, adding significant value both materially and spiritually.
Believing in a country’s intellectual and cultural resources requires mature thought and intellectual prowess. Moreover, converting the country’s material capital into fruitful outcomes necessitates the skill to harness intellectual power in managing material and natural resources. A nation endowed with such resources will be strong; without them, even if it possesses vast material and spiritual facilities, it will remain underdeveloped and dependent on others.
A critical issue in today’s world is the technology to transform raw data into actionable information, a task that developed nations accomplish through entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs in society are typically talented individuals who possess a heightened capacity to innovate and adapt to contemporary needs. They play a crucial role in addressing societal needs and deriving substantial benefits from this engagement. More importantly, entrepreneurs should be channeled towards serving the scientific and industrial sectors of the country.
A major challenge in integrating talented individuals into the labor market is the disconnect between our academic and educational systems and market needs. Market and environmental changes often necessitate swift strategic transformations. To address this issue, we must redefine our educational approaches to ensure that learning aligns closely with practical needs and does not conflict with real-world applications.
Following Note 41 of the Law of the Second Development Program and the approval letter No. 16680/12/1 dated December 10, 1998, from the Supreme Administrative Council, the groundwork has been laid to strengthen and enhance the role of associations and specialized organizations. This initiative aims to support their objectives and those of relevant ministries, particularly the Ministry of Industry, Mining, and Trade. The Iran Youth House of Industry, Mining, and Trade, a non-political, non-profit organization, was established in 2001. It convened its general assembly in East Azerbaijan in 2001 with a significant turnout of industry and business leaders from the province. The event, also attended by the representative of the Board of Trustees and the head of Iran’s Youth House, marked the official commencement of its activities following the election of board members and inspectors.
