In my view in order to develop /R&D thing one needs to lay foundation bcas in a R&D its never single man (at least if we want to develop industry with sustained level of growth) all disciplines have cross functional inputs .Social/Economical/Technical (in technical you need people from material,aero,elect,mech,mechatronics so lots of lots of mini projects are combined in making this bigger project .SO in my view for how long we can cheat our selves by importing CNC machines /learning from TAI real foundation and innovation will always be missing .As we try to copy absorb tech and manufacture it but not innovate it (thats the hardest part) Mere manufacturing is not every thing trust me i am in manufacturing business level of expertise in process control and QC is much much higher in European mills weather we liked it or not .Just wanted to make this point as this is what i feel no offense to any one .Because if i were the planner i start investing on people (to get qualification) give them projects hardest part trust them and there instinct and try to develop true tech visionaries .
