Funtanet Mange, Chairman of the Mexican Confederation of Chambers of Industry, Concamin, and the OECD General Secretary, Jose Angel Gurria, agreed to implement public policies that foster scientific research and technological innovation in Mexico. Concamin informed that in a meeting held in Paris, France, they both agreed that innovation should be a cornerstone that contributes to sustainable economic growth and jobs generation for emerging economies.
