The work we are therefore doing to make the country more modern, sustainable, innovative and competitive must focus precisely on the enhancement of human capital”. investing in the education system and training at all levels, promoting the dissemination of skills and talents in the public sector and supporting the innovation process and experimentation at the entrepreneurial level “.
