Iran has strong companies in many fields and they started to export their services to a few countries already... Since 2000 Iran exported tens of billions of engineering services exports... It was peaked in 1390 by exporting over 5 billions of dollars worth of projects and lowered again to around 2 billions because of sanctions...
The Road and bridge construction, water, electricity, gas, pipelines, refineries, Silos, dams and power stations are the broad spectrum of the infrastructure needs that Iran can export as technical and engineering services... Iran has made or making or will make huge projects in countries like Tajikistan, Paskistan, Iraq, Syria, Indonaisa, Venezuella, Brasil, Afghanistan, India... Most Iranian companies who export such services are of private or semi-private nature...
The fact that Iran still needs refinaries itself inside Iran does not mean that Iranian companies should not take any foreign projects... Iranian government have limited budget to build local refinaries inside Iran and this is why Iranian companies are seeking foreign contracts so the host governments can pay the costs....
But read this:
There was a documantry about South Korea and how it became a new industrialized nation... Their leaders and managers pointed out to a problem that Korea had when they were in their first steps... A Korean leader said, when Korean companies started to believe in themselves and dared to look outside of Korea, there were some so called Korean intellectuals who were spreading fear and weakness and words like "Korea can never compete with West" or "A country that still imports its main needs can not export stuff" or "Korea can never be a serious player and compete with Western companies"..... The leader said, these kind of non sense words were very harmful to Korean people self-confidence.... He said, most of those Weakness-Spreaders left Korea for North America... but now that Korea is taking the lead they are coming back to Korea while not being able to compete with Korean expert workforce...
A nation never hurts more than having weak people who generalize their own personal weaknesses to all their country men...
A few month back I was in Passport office trying to change my passport.. There were 4 to 5 guys who were treated differently by Police +10 offices... I asked one of them who are they? and he said, we are workers who go to Tajikistan to work in building a food processing factory being built by an Iranian company...
This little self-hater is verrrrryyyyy unfamiliar with current Iranian capabilities... He might had some sort of bad memory in Iran or might had a hate for Akhunds...but hey!! There is no akhunds in all those companies that build projects outside Iran.. the opposite most of them are Taghouti as you call them!!
It is like because I hate Korea, then I question everything Korean..even if it is a good Samsung cellphone!!
Iran is not Germany yet but is growing fast... for those who are familiar with Iran it is natural and normal to find your information about Iran capabilities as obsolete every 2 to 3 years... Iran is changing fast... some areas of technology in Iran are making huuuuuge advances over night...some other are lazy...
Iranian case study is a unique one in world... harsh sanctions helped some industries of Iran to believe in itself and explore its capabilities hence growing very fast and shockingly... Some industries are hit but sanctions and gave up... Overall, Sanctions were a blessing in disguise for Iranian science and tech sector
another example is medicine and medical engineering equipment... I have a friend who is a middle office or adviser to hospitals and doctors... he used to import medical equipment and medicine and distribute it in Iran... Last time I have seen him he told me that since tightened sanctions tens of new companies started to work in Iran producing high tech equipment... he said, he is now marketing Iranian equipment and considering their cheap prices the market accepted them very good...
Another example is my friend who repairs huge gearboxes in cement factories... he used to say that gearboxes must be European or nothing... Some time ago there was Chinese and polish gearboxes imported to be installed but he was always complaining... It is now couple of years that he says, they use Iranian gearboxes and tools for their work and he is happy with them...
another incident was when I went to a pharmacy to buy tablets... There was a lady asking pharmacy doctor if there are any FOREIGN imported substitutes to whatever medicine she needed... the doctor explained to the lady that "Iranian made medicine is not inferior to imported one if not superior and the price is one fifth!!"
No nation can become Germany overnight... we must learn of our mistakes and always believe in ourselves and our capabilities... I promise everyone here that as soon as the confidence and trust of Iranians come back to Iranian made products (that is growing to my eyes), Iranian science and tech and industry will jump like never before... Iran has hundreds of different small and medium scale industries that can produce exportable products as soon as some restraints be removed...
People who left Iran for their own comfort and only saying stupid non sense stuff about Iranian made things while doing NOTHING for Iran and its industry are pathetic... They are weak and see others like themselves... I see no right for such people to critisize IRan and IRanians as they have no roles in it...
