Its core mission was to maintain the region's competitive edge by investing in projects that improve productivity and competitiveness through the development, adoption, and commercialization of new technologies and business processes. WD also aimed to support higher value-added production and facilitate access to international markets, leveraging the region's abundant natural resources and thriving technology sector.
