The Speaker of the Parliament called information technology the factor of transformation of the country and its economy and said: “Information technology is the most important driver of the country in the seventh plan. In the past, if the question was raised whether science or wealth is better, today we say that business is not possible without the foundation of science, and we believe that the transformation of the country and its economy depends on this field, and you are the one who can advance the basis of this work. Information technology today is no longer a choice for society as well as governance; Rather, it is a necessity and smart governance is more important than electronic government.

Pointing out that now the productivity growth tends to zero, he considered technology as an effective factor in changing this situation and stated: “Today, the country’s most important challenge is economic growth. Economic growth has three factors; Investment, productivity and human resources. From the third to the sixth plan, although according to the forecasts, 50% growth was planned for productivity and the rest for investment, but in reality, the productivity growth situation is close to zero. Today, the most important means of production and power in countries is technology, and when it comes to technology, we actually rely on human power.

According to Ghalibaf, in the country, we must act in a way that we can solve issues such as energy imbalance. We waste about 100 billion dollars of energy per year, which information technology can help compensate for.

Stating that the virtual space needs regulation, Aghamiri stressed the need for regulation: “Regulation is an important issue, if one day everyone does whatever they want in life, things will not progress.

If this framework exists, people will understand what to do and businesses will also know their rights.”

He considered the lack of regulation as the cause of many problems and said: “If cyberspace is not regulated, people and businesses will have problems in asserting their rights. Now we are in the regulatory phase for this area. There are businesses that people are happy with; Because they offer good products and services. In this regard, my request is that we join hands in the regulation and standardization phase so that the government and businesses know their role; In this case, we will see the positive effects of regulation soon.”
