The industrial development process aims at strengthening and increasing the number of entrepreneurs in the manufacturing sector by promoting the growth and graduation of small industries into medium industries. 

The industrial entrepreneur development process helps new and existing manufacturing firms or ventures get better at achieving their goals, and improving businesses and the country’s economy.
