Overview

With recent advances in digital technologies, including AI, IoT and Blockchain, innovation is divided between platforming advanced technologies and business innovation for the companies that utilize them, so platform-based strategies and innovation ecosystems are important for corporate innovation. Furthermore, public research institutions such as universities are playing a more important role in both technological development and commercialization, so innovation policy must cover issues that relate to the entire national innovation ecosystem, including university-industry collaboration. This project will conduct empirical research on technological development and diffusion of digital technologies and co-evolution of technological and scientific innovation to derive policy implications for innovation in the era of digital transformation.
