During this meeting, part of a series of evaluations of public industrial groups, Mr. Ghrieb emphasized “the need to value the staff and skills within these complexes and the industrial sector, which are fundamental pillars for the development and modernization of various industrial branches,” according to the communiqué, cited by the APS agency.
On this occasion, the minister issued a series of directives aimed at forging strategic partnerships, each in their respective field of activity, to enable these groups to expand their operations and product offerings, as well as to create synergy between industrial complexes on one hand, and the industrial sector with other sectors on the other.
He also recommended, in line with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s directives, to involve startups, particularly in aspects related to creativity and innovation in various industrial branches such as leather and textiles, which would increase the integration rate of various products.
