There is a circle. Poor country cann't invest on R&D. It is poor because it can't invest in R&D. Untill you break this circle, you remain poor. One has to break it.

Still we have to wait untill announcement.

Its time to discuss which area shound be focused on science and technology because we can't go in all the fields of this area. I would say biotechnology, agriculture, renewable energy-yes! etc.
