On the morning of 19 January 2026, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, conducted a working and inspection visit to the National Polytechnic School in El Harrach, Algiers.

The minister inspected various school facilities, including the laboratories, classrooms, and the interfaces (Digital Manufacturing Centre, Business Incubator, the House of Artificial Intelligence, and the Entrepreneurship Development Centre). 

During an exhibition showcasing the innovative projects and patents held for the occasion, the minister reviewed the value-added innovative projects initiated by the school’s students. He listened to explanations about these projects and how they apply technology in various fields. 

This visit provided an opportunity to meet the students participating in various international competitions. He encouraged them to exert greater effort to win multiple titles in scientific and research fields.

In a statement to the press, the minister praised the “exceptional results” achieved by the school, as he cited the 21 micro-enterprise, six (6) Stat-ups and one subsidiary established by the students during the 2024-2025academic year.  He emphasised that these achievements “reflect the efforts made to position the university as a key player in supporting the national economy by transforming innovative ideas into marketable economic products, thereby contributing to the creation of wealth and employment.”

Mr. Kamel Baddari further reminded of the “great support” provided by the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to strengthen the university’s role as a “locomotive of local and national development”. He urged the students to “invest their intellectual capacities to integrate the world of entrepreneurship, particularly given the measures taken to encourage them to promote their research and contribute to the advancing national development”.
