Bottom line



"Understanding its wealth;

building up new horizons“ 1/2


With the proper policy resolutions Suriname can become a respected innovator

Lack of a strong innovation climate is a key area that negatively impacts Suriname’s economic development

It is time for Suriname to set forth to understand its wealth, and to introduce technology and knowledge in its economy as means to build up new horizons

"Understanding its wealth;

building up new horizons“ 2/2


The country needs to create value on the extractive sector, making use of knowledge and technology to develop new industries, innovative products, pioneering processes and higher standards Apply "high tech" in all

sectors

Grow the "make industry"

Maintain a healthy balance of resource exploitation
