Innovation can make a difference in addressing urgent developmental challenges.

Industry experts recommend that national and international research as well as the goals and objectives of these works should be commercialized and industrialized in order to ensure sustainability. The best way to realize the commercial impact of these researches is to create an “Innovative Industrial Environment”.
