Iran is prioritizing digital transformation across its energy and transportation sectors to enhance efficiency and regional connectivity. In the energy sector, the Ahvaz Electricity Distribution Company reported a 34 percent increase in connection sales during the first half of the year. The company is focusing on grid smartening in the second half of the year and has successfully regulated 69 unauthorized agricultural transformers, totaling approximately 5.5 megawatts of load.

In the logistics sector, Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Farzaneh Sadegh emphasized the importance of digitalizing transit corridors to reduce costs and transit times.
