Oecd Science Technology And Industry Scoreboard 2011

The tenth edition of the OECD Science, Technology and Industry (STI) Scoreboard builds on 50 years of indicators development, looking at major trends in knowledge and innovation in the global economy.

Explores recent developments in matters relating to science, technology, globalisation and industrial performance of OECD and major non OECD countries, bringing together over 200 graphs.

Science, technology and innovation – which foster competitiveness, productivity and job creation – are important mechanisms for encouraging sustainable growth.

With over 160 indicators, 60% of them new to this edition, the volume provides a comprehensive picture of countries’ performance in the areas of science, technology and industry.

In immediate responses to the COVID-19 crisis, science and innovation are playing essential roles in providing a better scientific understanding of the virus, as well as in the development of vaccines, treatments and diagnostics. Both the public and private sectors have poured billions of dollars into these efforts, accompanied by unprecedented levels of global cooperation.

This book paints a richly detailed picture of the space industry, its downstream services activities, and its wider economic and social impacts.
