The Innovation Imperative
"“You can see it everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” Robert Solow’s 1987 quip on the effects of the computer age might apply just as well to innovation: however central it may be to advanced and emerging economies and societies, its impact is not so easy to quantify. Nevertheless, innovation is a key driver of productivity, growth and well-being, and plays an important role in helping address core public policy challenges like health, the environment, food security, education and public sector efficiency. Innovation-led productivity growth will become even more important in the future to address key challenges like ageing populations and climate change."
