In his opening speech, Ben Aissa expressed his gratitude to the Algerian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry for organising this major economic event, emphasising that it reflects the strength and depth of the cooperative relationship between Algeria and Germany.
Speaking in an economic context described as "pivotal", the Secretary-General indicated that Algeria is now part of a new economic dynamic, driven by a development model focused on diversifying the industrial fabric, strengthening businesses' competitiveness and promoting productive investment as a key lever for creating wealth and jobs.
An industrial vision focused on sustainable development
Mr Ben Aissa reiterated that the national industrial strategy is aligned with sustainable development goals through the adoption of high-performance industrial models, the rationalisation of resource use and improved energy efficiency in response to global economic changes.
This strategy is based in particular on wealth and job creation, import substitution, export development and optimised management of public and natural resources. It is supported by a multidimensional policy aimed at ensuring food, health and economic security, developing industrial sectors and strengthening Algeria's integration into global value chains.
Structural reforms and improvement of the investment climate
The Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry also highlighted the far-reaching reforms undertaken by Algeria to improve the business climate. Key measures include revising the investment law to increase flexibility and transparency, restructuring economic land use, simplifying administrative procedures and strengthening industrial partnerships, particularly in strategic sectors.
He also emphasised increased support for start-ups, the organisation of industrial sectors, the clarification of their governance mechanisms, and the roll-out of projects to digitise public services to enhance efficiency and transparency.
Expanded opportunities for German companies
Describing Germany as a major economic partner for Algeria, Mr Ben Aissa emphasised the mutual trust that characterises relations between the two countries, particularly in the areas of technology transfer, exchange of expertise and skills development.
In this regard, he highlighted the numerous investment opportunities available to German companies, particularly in the energy and renewable energy sectors – especially green hydrogen, solar and wind power, mechanical and electromechanical industries, industrial subcontracting, industrial and precision engineering, the chemical industry, and smart solutions in services, logistics and industrial supply chain management.
Towards enhanced industrial cooperation
In conclusion, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry affirmed the authorities' conviction of the importance of this summit as a forum for dialogue and consultation, expressing the hope that it would mark a new stage in strengthening the Algerian-German partnership, with concrete investment projects boosting sustainable and mutually beneficial industrial development.
