Barkat on the move

Pioneer of start-ups ecotype

Young people, entrepreneurs, elites, and educators are the pioneer in the growth and development of any society that opens its way to excellence, depending on the conditions in different formats and structures. In this way, those who support, and the partner of the hardships and disadvantages of the path, share in joys and achievements, and those who stop and stone are condemned to be eliminated and to be honest with success. We have decided to accompany the success, not to be a barrier. Good or bad, the path to success and progress is always tough and uneven, and those who wish for success and determination must advance and prepare themselves for this rugged and rough path. Nowadays, these hardships and complexities have raised due to the external and internal barriers and the different nature of the near future with the far-reaching past, which requires the reconstruction of many structures. Young people, entrepreneurs, creative companies and elites, although own the creativity and capacity for this rugged route, are sometimes tired and unable to face the big barriers. We seek to help those who set foot in this harsh and holy path to hopefully move towards the destination, and the rocks and livestock of the route will not stop them moving. We are not the first in this direction; we are not the best and the greatest, but our team at the Barkat Knowledge-based Institute is trying to be a good supporter of those who want to build their own future and their country. Therefore, what we have to do with our strength, credibility, resources and experience is to empower and motivate ourselves to make progress and remove the barriers facing young people, entrepreneurs, startups, and scholars, with the help of God and the efforts of the youth to have a share in the bright future of dear Iran.

Activity method:

• To become active in novel entrepreneurship ecotype, we began team building and recognition as a major actor in direct business investment from the start of our business. By doing so, on the one hand, we have developed the processes and mechanisms necessary for the operation, and on the other hand, we have created the necessary mechanisms of support in the institution (Governments have a number of limitations for risky interactions with businesses that we should be aware of and for each one, a solution is provided).
• Establishing or strengthening institutions that pursue each of our missions and goals independently and centrally is one of the most important approaches to the activity of the institution. These include accelerators, risky investment funds, fund of funds, corporate venture capital (CVCs), innovation centers, rolling platforms, mentoring networks, and so on. These institutions should be created with private partnerships for continuous activity and clever influence. Simultaneously with the direct presence in the ecotype, we have identified or created these institutions.
• According to the institute's conditions, some of the structural constraints were put in place in order to focus the actions on each of the target areas of the creation of five specialized companies. Curently, we have been successful in setting up the respective company in two areas of Fin-tec and Health. As a result, the institute will become owner of five specialized arms. Each of these arms will follow the same model of creating the necessary institutions and direct investment.
• With the emphasis of the chair of the headquarters of activities in the provinces was on the agenda since the end of the year 1397. For this purpose, the provinces of Khuzestan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Lorestan, Kermanshah, Kerman, Kurdistan, Khorasan Razavi and West Azarbaijan were selected and establishing or strengthening the infrastructure of the activities of the teams, investing in provincial teams, and endeavoring to form the ecotype of the active people in the entrepreneurship of the targeted provinces was considered.
