Facilitating development of new technologies

Encouraging technological development
Demanding development of technological procedures

Description

Facilitating development of new technologies involves creating supportive environments for innovation by providing resources, incentives, and infrastructure to researchers and entrepreneurs. This strategy addresses barriers such as limited funding, regulatory hurdles, and lack of collaboration by streamlining approval processes, fostering partnerships, and ensuring access to technical expertise. Its practical intent is to accelerate the creation and deployment of solutions that address societal challenges, enhance productivity, and drive sustainable economic growth.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
