Thank you for sharing this experience of yours. It might give an idea how
the people in the Ministry handle innovative projects of the citizens of
Mauritius.
Do you have a particular reason why Microsoft cloud?

From the conversation you shared & especially the above line, I would
conclude that this person isn't qualified to handle "innovative" projects.
If he cannot represent you vis-à-vis other ministries then it means he did
not understand the project & is not enthusiastic about his work. You cannot
expect boring people to innovate. He does not understand the technicalities
& cannot pave a way forward for you. He should resign from his "number 3"
position as it is a waste of taxpayers money.
You cannot wait 5 years expecting the Ministry of "Innovation" to look into
your project. In 5 years things do not innovate, they become obsolete.
