Cuba has embraced technology, especially biotechnology, as a hard currency revenue source as well as a globally prestigious national pursuit. The beginnings of Cuban biotechnology derive from MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas. Scientists visiting Cuba in the early 1980s extolled the future of biotechnology as an opportunity to provide solutions to many World problems. Cuba embraced the concept and sent its scientists to Texas, Eastern Europe and the USSR to learn as much as possible, then return to Cuba to make biotechnology in Cuba a reality.

Today, Cuba produces vaccines, anti-HIV medications, and products for use in agriculture (both plants and animals).
