I dream when we will have outsourced manufacturing jobs overseas, and have big companies like Apple, HP, here in Kenya, then earn foreign exchange on the distribution and sells all over the world. But it sounds like a pipe dream.
+1 Ali. I noted in Obama's State of the Union Address a new initiative the US govt is setting up called "Manufacturing Innovation Hubs" aimed at spurring innovation in Manufacturing.
In addition, a number of US companies such as Apple and Ford are bringing back manufacturing to the USA.
