    Overview

    Our Innovation and Technology Committee provides business access to OECD discussions on how science, technology, and innovation (STI) can be harnessed to contribute to increased productivity and economic growth, the creation of jobs, sustainable development, improved well-being and addressing global challenges, such as the digitalization of economies and societies. We recommend a whole–of–government, cross–cutting approach to align policy work to the changing global context and to new drivers of innovation.

    Business engagement at OECD

    The OECD encourages co-operation among its members in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy. Based on its analytical work and the development of relevant internationally comparable indicators, the Organization facilitates discussions on the objectives of STI policies, instruments for stimulating research and development, STI financing, the impact of converging, emerging and enabling technologies including digitalization, and the need to facilitate international STI co-operation to address global challenges.

    • OECD Committee on Scientific and Technology Policy (CSTP)
    • OECD Committee for Industry, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE)
    • OECD Working Party on Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Converging Technologies (BNCT)
