OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2009

Highlights

The world is at a crossroads. Economies are slowly recovering from the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression. International competition from new players is eroding the lead of more established economies. Environmental pressures call into question the sustainability of current development models. Longer life expectancy is putting a greater strain on the capability of health systems to meet the needs of an ageing population. All these challenges are global, in the sense that they affect all countries regardless of income or geography. But they are also global because the scale of problems exceeds the capability of any one country and requires co-operation by all countries.

Increasingly, innovation is seen as a critical part of an effective response to these challenges. It will be one of the keys to emerging from the downturn and putting countries back on a path to sustainable ? and smarter ? growth.

How is the economic crisis affecting innovation efforts? How can innovation help to solve
environmental and social threats? How are countries tackling these challenges? The OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2009 provides the statistical information necessary to see the contours of these global challenges more clearly and to identify directions for responding to them.

It considers these challenges in five chapters:

? Responding to the Economic Crisis
? Targeting New Growth Areas
? Competing in the World Economy
? Connecting to Global Research
? Investing in the Knowledge Economy
