Abstract

The economic war against Iran has been going on for years, and economic defense has been charged with the responsibility to counter the enemy's economic aggression, with the aim of laying a stronger foundation for resistance to foreign conflicts. Economic defense requires appropriate tools, one of which is Fintech. Fintech is a tool that connects the two fields of economics and technology. This research has been done using library-survey methodology, examining the economic dimensions of Fintech businesses with the aim of introducing solutions to provide a model for the expansion of these businesses in strengthening economic defense with a statistical community of Fintech experts. In the qualitative stage, the qualitative model of the research with six categories of causal conditions, contextual conditions, central category, intervening conditions, strategies and actions, and outcomes is presented by the Qualitative Meta Synthesis Method. And in the quantitative stage, using the results of the questionnaire and the method of confirmatory factor analysis, a relatively good fit of the model is obtained.
