Technological innovation is a key driver of economic development, a fundamental lever in fighting climate change, and a powerful enabler of social inclusion. However, uneven regulatory principles still slow down the development of new products and innovation. Innovation is also fostered by tech entrepreneurs or startups taking new developments to the market and thereby creating employment and growth. The development of technological products and services can be encouraged and nurtured through higher public support for R&D and private investments, as well as raising awareness on technology benefits.
