Introduction and Preamble

In most societies, despite the ideology of free enterprise and in the face of competing needs, Governments, nevertheless, play a catalytic role in the nurturing and provision of consistent support for the Science and Technology sector aimed at manufacturing, and in Research & Development. This latter is in order to gain National advantage and because of the attendant multiplier effect of such expenditure in the National economy.
