Gives Trinidad and Tobago a gateway to firstworld status by engaging in industries and employing educated employees foreign and domestic in origin.

1. Medicine – a percentage locally manufactured, while others developed in a pharma labs.

2. Medical tourism – attractive in quality and price, foreigners invited to receive care locally.

3. Agriculture – a rise in farming and fisheries by way of incentives and inclusive agricultural science labs of research. Products like food and equipment sold abroad for FOREX.
