Suggested Technologies to Brief:
| Place | Las Gaviotos |
| Technological Paradigm #1 | Biodiesel |
| Description | Scientists from the University of Colorado (U.S.) have helped modify diesel engines in this remote village to run on palm oil, which is cultivated locally. The palm trees keep the soil in place, and the 400,000 gallons of fuel produced each year keeps the regional economy in motion without petroleum. |
| Also in the race | Biodiesel Producers (Australia), West Central (U.S.) |
| Global market revenue stream expected | $2B (2007) |
| Current progress | Early Adoption |
| Place | Havana, Cuba |
| Technological Paradigm | Cancer vaccines |
| Description | Scientists at the Center of Molecular Immunology have developed promising vaccines for several forms of cancer, including breast and lung. Their research is attracting interest from pharmaceutical companies in China, India, and the United States. |
| Also in the race | Baitai Pharmaceutical (China), Biocon (India), Cancervax (U.S.) |
| Global market revenue stream expected | $1B (2012) |
| Current progress | In R & D |
| Place | Argentina |
| Technological Paradigm #2 | Genetically engineered crops |
| Description | More than half of Argentina's arable land is now used to cultivate genetically engineered, herbicide-resistant soy from Monsanto (U.S.). Proponents say it saved Argentina from economic ruin. Critics counter that the high-tech farms will turn Argentina into a sterile monoculture. |
| Also in the race | Bayer (Germany), DuPont (U.S.) |
| Global market revenue stream expected | $5B (2005) |
| Current progress | Early Adoption |
