I'm strangely and inexplicably fascinated by this:

  "...Science Network will supply to countries and developing regions the
  technology and the necessary support for the production in series of
  Mini-plants in mobile containers (40-foot). The Mini-plant system is designed
  in such a way that all the production machinery is fixed on the platform of
  the container, with all wiring, piping, and installation parts; that is to
  say, they are fully equipped... and the mini-plant is ready for production."

  More than 700 portable production systems: Bakeries, Steel Nails, Welding
  Electrodes, Tire Retreading, Reinforcement Bar Bending for Construction
  Framework, Sheeting for Roofing, Ceilings and Façades, Plated Drums, Aluminum
  Buckets, Injected Polypropylene Housewares, Pressed Melamine Items (Glasses,
  Cups, Plates, Mugs, etc.), Mufflers, Construction Electrically Welded Mesh,
  Plastic Bags and Packaging, Mobile units of medical assistance, Sanitary
  Material, Hypodermic Syringes, Hemostatic Clamps, etc. Science Network has
  started a process of Co-investment for the installation of small Assembly
  plants to manufacture in series the Mini-plants of portable production on the
  site, region or country where they may be required. One of the most relevant
  features is the fact that these plants will be connected to the World Trade
  System (WTS) with access to more than 50 million raw materials, products and
  services and automatic transactions for world trade.

  Due to financial reasons, involving cost and social impact, the right thing to
  do is to set up assembly plants in the same countries and regions, using local
  resources (labor, some equipment, etc.)

  Science Network participates with 50% in the investment of each Assembly plant.
