Abstract: Science, technology and Innovation (STI) plays different roles in developed and developing countries. In developed countries, STI is considered a driving force for innovation, and play a key role in maintaining high economic growth. Meanwhile, the underdeveloped economic and social structure, as well as the largely dependent on foreign technologies of developing countries has led to the insignificant role of STI. However, as STI has brought greater benefits for developing countries in supporting socio-economic development and industrialization, the awareness of STI’s important role has been increased recently. The problem now lies in how developing countries build effective STI policies and strategies. To tackle this problem, more attention and resource have been being located to STI policies making and implementing. Keywords: Policy, Science, Technology and Innovation, Developing countries.

Given the growing role of technological foresight as a tool for reconciling visions, goals and ways of STI development in an era of rapid technological change and global challenges, the approach to foresight research to select priorities for science and innovation in Ukraine for 2022–2026 has been improved. It takes into account a wide range of national targets for achieving SDGs by 2030. The developed Methodological recommendations provided a thorough analysis of more than 3,000 potentially acceptable technological and innovative proposals. The approach to setting STI priorities is new for Ukraine and involves a consistent process of selecting the top 30 most acceptable proposals in each of the seven thematic areas through five stages of discussions and evaluations. The result was the formation of a database of technology passports and developments on the experts’ proposals, their selection by practitioners, ranking, evaluation in terms of the potential of Ukrainian science and relevance in terms of world science and new technologies using international databases. They are the basis for decisions by the Expert Councils and the High-Level Working Group on key thematic areas and the preparation of a relevant draft government decision. Despite the conditions of quarantine, for the first time more than 2,500 experts from science, business, state and public organizations took part in the discussions, which is the basis for impartial and public decision-making. To strengthen the role of foresight as a tool for public planning and management in the field of STI, it is proposed to develop a STI roadmap as part of a research and innovation strategy for smart specialization (RIS 3) at the national level.

This chapter offers an overview about the role of science, technology and industrial policies in the MENA region. It analyses the theoretical foundations of these policies and their changes. In addition, an analysis about the determinants of the state of science, technology and innovation in the MENA countries become interesting and important to be explored. Thus, this chapter is an occasion to explore the role of the national system of innovation in these countries in facilitating the knowledge, skills and innovation process, and to offer some ideas regarding the weaknesses, limitations and constraints of these countries in these areas. The two main ideas of this chapter are: the development of innovation infrastructure and the role of institutions in pursuing these policies. Thus, undertaking a comparative analysis of the MENA countries in the areas of science, technology and innovation is the goal of this chapter.

Science Technology And Innovation

Rapid progress of science and technology after the WWII and their consecutive integration into economic and social processes went side by side with the growing understanding of the need for sophisticated state regulation of the resources allocated for augmentation of knowledge and evaluation of societal impacts of scientific experiments. Since then, statistics turned out to be one of the instruments that allowed developing standardized measurement of science and technology in terms of R&D inputs and outputs in relation with the innovation processes and economic growth. Through a system of economic indicators statistics provided essential data for decision making. Using the example of international conventions, formulated around STI measurement, the article shows how the role of statistics changes from simple registration of facts to active participation in public discussions on STI issues and integration in international strategic documents.
