How new technologies are changing the way we innovate

A new set of technologies is emerging
that enables fi rms to innovate more
rapidly, effi ciently and accurately
than ever before. This ‘Innovation
Technology’ (IvT) includes eScience,
virtual reality, simulation and
modelling techniques, and rapid
prototyping.

Indeed, it is possible that
it will have as profound an impact on
economic growth and social well-being
in today’s knowledge economy as the
development of machine tools had on
the industrial economy of the mid-19th
century.
