Top Research And Development In The Caribbean.

by Cdr. Bud Slabbaert

Which are the top ten leading territories for research and development in the Caribbean? No? Top five? How about three? Is it because the region doesnt need any research and development?

Or is it that they have more funding as they have invested more in research and development and are benefiting from it?
