Algiers, November 30, 2025 – Algeria possesses the necessary qualifications to achieve a favorable ranking in the Global Innovation Index, according to participants at the National Innovation Conference held Sunday in Algiers.
The conference, organized by the Ministry of Industry, brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss Algeria’s potential in the field of innovation. Speakers emphasized that Algeria has significant capabilities that could position it well in the prestigious index, which is published annually by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

They also stressed the importance of creating a supportive regulatory environment that encourages entrepreneurship and protects intellectual property rights.
The Ministry of Industry is committed to implementing policies and programs that will promote innovation across all sectors of the Algerian economy. This includes initiatives to support startups, facilitate technology transfer, and encourage collaboration between research institutions and industry.
With its abundant natural resources, a young and dynamic population, and a growing commitment to innovation, Algeria is well-positioned to become a major player in the global innovation landscape.
