Innovation is not something that goes beyond the government sector and money. Rather, innovation is the work of the private sector and young people who spend time late on their ideas. The product is the result of private sector investment in research. Because the government develops the infrastructure and facilitates basic research.

At present, a good view has been created in the country. Once upon a time, research institutes were set up in the country to solve the problem of the industry. While the government does not conduct research.
