MUTATI BANKS ON TECHNOLOGY FOR ECONOMY TRANSFORMATION 

By ZANIS:

Government says it will partner with stakeholders in the science and technology industry on the country’s journey towards transformation of the economy.

Science and Technology Minister Felix Mutati notes that Zambia has the right prototypes and critical thinkers that are creating solutions, but that the missing link is how to move the prototype to the market and create value.

Mr. Mutati was speaking at the official opening of the First ever all Africa STEM Awareness Conference in Lusaka.

Mr. Mutati observed that critical thinking and creativity can result in the transformation of the economy that President Hakainde Hichilema has always talked about.

The Minister explained that together with the stakeholders, the government can begin to construct practical solutions using critical and creative minds.

And Zambia National Stem Foundation Board Secretary Christopher Mundia stressed the need to invest in STEM in an effort to harness Zambia’s resource potential.

Mr. Mundia said the market reach for innovation can only expand if stakeholders invest in STEM to pioneer in new and unexplainable fields.
