Summary
The report examines how science, technology and innovation can be leveraged to drive deep economic and societal transformation amid growing uncertainty. It explores how geopolitical tensions are reshaping international scientific co-operation and placing new expectations on national science systems. The report analyses the convergence of emerging technologies with ecosystem-based and mission-oriented industrial policies, highlighting the role of strategic intelligence, experimentation and coordination in broadening the benefits of STI, supporting frontier innovation, enhancing resilience, and enabling governments to act more effectively in rapidly changing contexts.
