TEHRAN, Sept 9 (NIPNA) – Iran’s Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (PETZONE) signed a memorandum of understanding with state-run Telecommunications Company of Iran on Tuesday to expand digital and communications infrastructure in the country’s key industrial hub.

 

The agreement was signed during the second day of the 19th IranPlast International Exhibition in Tehran by Mohammadreza Motiri, PETZONE managing director, and Mohammad Jafarpoor, chief executive of the Telecommunications Company of Iran.

Under the three-year accord, the two sides will cooperate on developing and deploying IT and communications infrastructure, data exchange systems, smart monitoring platforms and digital services across PETZONE’s industrial and operational sites. The deal also covers joint research on advanced technologies including 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT) and fiber-optic networks.

Officials said the initiative aims to strengthen the digital backbone of Iran’s petrochemical industry, which contributes nearly 30% of the sector’s national output, and aligns with broader goals of advancing the country’s digital economy.
