Azim Kalantari-Asl, referencing this year’s theme designated by the Leader as "Investment for Production," stated that the oil industry is a driving force for the country’s development, and various sectors can play a role in this field.

He added that the RIPI can motivate investors to fund different sectors by providing long-term, localized technical expertise.

Kalantari-Asl emphasized that these technology-driven services—related to upstream oil industry investments—include providing technical knowledge in catalysts, liquefied natural gas (LNG), various chemicals, and similar areas.

The event, "Transformation in Investment and Development in Iran’s Upstream Oil and Gas," will be held on April 22, 2025, aiming to introduce over 200 investment opportunities in the upstream oil and gas sector.
