A few months ago, noted scientist Dr Henry Lowe made another pitch for the use of science and technology to aid sustainable development in Jamaica.
Addressing the 50th anniversary annual general meeting of the Jamaica Exporters’ Association, Dr Lowe pointed out that successful societies, such as Singapore, USA and Germany, have used science and technology, not only for the goods and services they produce, but also to establish quality and standardisation for their domestic and export industries.
Quite correctly, Dr Lowe stated that if Jamaica is to overcome its financial problems, partly through exports, it needs to move away from the reliance on export products such as sugar, banana and bauxite to new non-traditional products and services for a sustainable future.
“This new direction must be driven by innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, supported by science and technology,” he emphasised.
