On 7 September 2025, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, visited the ministry’s innovation stand, as part of the Intra-African Trade Fair (ITAF 2025) activities.
During the visit, the minister affirmed that the programme of the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, positions the university as a strategic lever for economic and social development, exporting its innovation results, training of human capital for African countries, establishing incubators to support African innovative projects and creating African development economic institutions.
The minister explained that these fields serve as “a bridge between Algeria and African countries.” They unveil new horizons to create genuine strategic partnerships, adding that Algeria, and the Algerian university, represent “a fundamental lever for implementing these programmes in the field” through innovative ideas that consider the unique characteristics of African societies.
The minister added that the university establishment as a strategic lever has become a reality. It was made possible with the support of the Algerian Agency for Investment Promotion and the Ministry of Trade, ensuring that Algeria has “a voice and a clear indicator within the African community.”
He concluded by emphasising that the objective is for “Africa to belong to Africans, with all its wealth and human capital.” He also believes that Algerian universities are capable of playing a pivotal role in supporting this vision, in line with that of the President of the Republic.
