Referring to Navaco’s initiatives in evaluating and developing technological projects within the energy and advanced industries sectors, Zarghami also emphasized the company’s role in facilitating innovation processes, supporting the localization of technology, and bridging the gap between industry and the knowledge-based ecosystem.
Subsequently, Akbar Naderpour, CEO of Davar Moharrek Company, outlined some of the organization’s technological needs and technical priorities, highlighting the acquisition of technical know-how for certain components of rotating equipment as a key focus area for research and development.

In another part of the meeting, the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) was addressed, aimed at evaluating the extent to which companies within the Oil Turbo-Compressor Group utilize the specialized capabilities and technological services offered by Novaco.
This collaboration is pursued within the framework of Novaco’s approach to developing the innovation ecosystem of the Ahdaf Holding, identifying the technological needs of its subsidiaries, strengthening internal capabilities, and leveraging the country’s scientific and knowledge-based capacities.
