In order to improve operational plans and roadmaps, it is necessary to assess the existing situation using the appropriate indicators. Due to rapid technological development in recent decades, developing countries lack the necessary resources to import such instruments and systems to sustain their operations and maintenance costs. Establishing prototype building facilities paves the way for moving towards self-reliance in various technologies. A priority list should be determined based on field data and feedback provided by the government and private sectors. Novel approaches are welcomed to determine optimized processes and procedures for promoting technology development culture and ecosystem in developing countries.
