According to the World Economic Forum;
human capital, enabling environment, market
and innovation ecosystem are pillars of
economic development
A financially challenged scientist chose to
pursue research on a vaccine over other offers
due to a very good budget support by a
pharmaceutical company. This shows how
other sector of society influences science

technology results to more spending on
research and development¸ lower ratio
between researchers and the nation's
population

evidence and experiment Francis Bacon
