French term or phrase: volonté industrielle
In a document summarizing the business plan for distribution of waste treatment plants, there is the following sentence: "L'investisseur recherché . . . doit être animé par une volunté industrielle." Can anyone think of a smooth translation of this sentence? TIA!
