Q: In your opinion, what was the most significant trait of Binnocup?

A: The event had a warm and friendly environment and the kids who were present there applied an atmosphere of share-friendly culture. For instance, it was nothing like the old days when kids were afraid to present their ideas and disclose information related to them. And the fact that they discuss their ideas openly in a community like this helps them receive counseling regarding their ideas and has a huge impact on the implementation process and increasing the estimate value and price of their ideas by refining them. This is an important point and I’m witnessing that the issue around it has come to pass. And in fact there is still room for expansion through this event to provide access to the right person or people for the participants who are dedicated to their innovative endeavors, so that they can use their help in their process. We can have the right people to hold seminars amidst Binnocup’s events so that the participants could obtain counseling, guidance and answers to their questions for a better stepping stone in their venture.

Q: Where did the idea of holding this event come from? Why did you create and host Binnocup in the first place?

A: At Noshirvani University of Technology, a thriving atmosphere of research and project-oriented work prevailed. However, there was a noticeable absence of a platform where students could bridge the gap between their ideas and the business environment. To address this need, Dr. Mashreqi, with the support of the esteemed university president, vice-presidents, and the collaboration of students from diverse scientific associations, brought about the formation of Binnocup. Its purpose was to fulfill the aforementioned requirement and create an avenue for students to explore entrepreneurial opportunities.

Q: What is it that you’re looking for in participants that you haven’t found yet?

A: It is best that I say I have found an abundance of good things and strong positive energy by witnessing the sheer determination in some of these kids in starting and paving their very own unique paths of progress and development, even though they could have looked for a corporation and secured a job with a safe monthly income. And this was what I personally found most interesting. And God-willing, if their innovations and products -some of which have no domestic similars and limited number of companies are producing their similar counterparts internationally- are nurtured and valued nationwide, I think they may bring about a bright future for the entire nation.
