Innovations should not only solve current problems but also emphasize new horizons for the future. We are working on developing a national innovation strategy and have already identified ten priority areas that we plan to develop, from research centers to cooperation with the private sector. Today we are already building the future of technology and we are doing it, in particular, thanks to the trust and support of our Estonian partners,” Valeriia Ionan said.
