According to Mining News Pro - Hamidreza Azimian told MiningNewsPro during an interview: “Due to our country’s special situation these days because of the sanctions, we have problems for providing consuming materials and technologies for production.

He added: “This situation made the steelmakers think about using the domestic powers and potentials. Therefore, the first national festival and exhibition of Iran were prepared with a localization approach.
Azimian mentioned that if the equipment is needed in the country, but not available, it will be provided to suppliers, manufacturers, knowledge-based companies, academic groups and research centers to be localized, if possible.

CEO of Mobarakeh Steel Co. mentioned the difference of this exhibition with others and said: “Previously, the contract was signed when the parts was produced and confirmed but now, the parts are being confirmed by a jury committee, financial support is provided, and steel makers share the risk of this project and research.
