Human capital investment as a generator for innovative practices in Algerian startups : reality and challenges

Abstract EN

Emerging STARTUPS are considered to be one of the most significant drivers of economic growth for nations, as interest in them has become necessary due to their great role in national economic development, as they contribute economically to development while reducing unemployment in the social sphere.

therefore the idea of human capital investment is a powerful opportunity to respond quickly to changes in the environment for creating the innovativeness.

This paper investigates the role of human capital investment in achieving innovativeness in Algerian startups and concluding the challenges facing the business environment in the Greater South.

The issue of startups is one of the most prominent topics in the Algerian business environment recently.

It should be noted that Algeria was a little late in launching this type of project, especially in light of the technological delay, in addition to the weak government spending on scientific research and development.
