The decision was made on Wednesday in a meeting between Mohammad Sadegh Azimifar the CEO of the NIORDC  and Hosain Afshin the vice president for scientific, technology and knowledge-based economy.

Pushing oil refineries and the fuel supply chain towards the implementation of smart plans and digital transformation, launching a comprehensive monitoring and big data analysis center, as well as the first-time construction plans, were the main issues the two sides agreed upon in the meeting.

The two sides also agreed to form a joint working group to follow up the agreements and make them operational.
