Peruvian President Francisco Sagasti on Wednesday noted that science, technology, and innovation are key topics that must be addressed in the country to guarantee national development for the benefit of all Peruvians.
During the installation of the Multisectoral Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation at the Government Palace in Lima, the President affirmed that work must be done to encourage private investment in research, which has been lagging behind, since it is quite low compared to other countries in the world. In this year of pandemic, we have seen that knowledge, science, technology, and innovation have become key to face any threat and ensure development. It is impossible to sustain a development process in the short, medium or long term without capacities in science, he pointed out.
