Short address for this page: One of the important lessons of the
past two decades has been the pivotal role of innovation in
economic development. The build-up of innovation capacities has
played a central role in the growth dynamics of successful
developing countries. In addition, the transfer and, when
necessary, adaptation of technologies from developed countries
can often contribute significantly to addressing urgent
developmental challenges such as providing access to drinking
water, eradicating neglected diseases or reducing hunger.
Ongoing work at the OECD analyses innovation for development
around six major themes: - Contribution of innovation to
economic growth and well-being - Impact of globalisation on
development and innovation - Inclusive innovation - Education,
skills and human capital - ICTs for development - Institutional
frameworks for innovation policy Download our Innovation for
