Technology Policy | Vibepedia

Technology policy refers to the public means for nurturing technological capabilities and optimizing their applications in the service of national goals and interests. It involves the development and implementation of policies that support the creation, funding, and mobilization of science and technology. Scholars like Lewis M. Branscomb and Rigas Arvanitis have contributed to the definition and scope of technology policy, differentiating it from science policy and emphasizing its importance in achieving national objectives. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and IBM are also involved in shaping technology policy through their research and development initiatives, as well as their collaborations with governments and organizations like the National Science Foundation and the European Commission.
