An investment in local science is therefore a direct infusion into a community’s growth potential, one that eventually will reward investors with new breakthroughs. After all, nothing is better for innovation than a scientist working outside conventional institutions, solving a problem that will save his or her family.
这种方式的意义远不止于灾难救援领域。充满活力的科学机构是经济发展的根源，没有它也就谈不上第三世界的任何发展。因此，投资当地科技相当于直接增强当地的发展潜力，这最终会给投资者带来新的突破。归根结底，没有什么能够比传统科研机构以外的科学家更有利于创新，因为他们会为了拯救自己的一家老小而找到问题的解决办法。
