During the closing ceremonies, Ardabil Creative City—the first creative and innovation hub in Ardabil province aimed at empowering young artists and commercializing creative industries—received a special golden statue. Hossein Afshin, the Vice President for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy, personally visited the pavilion to evaluate their achievements in empowering local talent and commercializing creative works.

Additionally, the telecommunications operator Hamrah-e Aval participated in the event to showcase its shift toward digital service platforms. Maziar Khameneh, head of digital platform business development at Hamrah-e Aval, stated that the company is moving beyond traditional telecommunications to integrate daily services. This strategy aims to provide a unified platform for tasks such as utility bill payments, electronic government inquiries, and tourism services, reducing the need for users to install multiple separate applications.
