THE ROLE OF STATE ECONOMIC POLICY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS: THE CASE OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN EU COUNTRIES

Abstract

This article examines the role of state economic policies in promoting new technologies and innovations, with a focus on public-private partnerships (PPPs) in several EU member states. It studies how collaboration between the public and private sectors influenced by state economic policies contributes to the development of new technology. Through a comprehensive analysis of multiple case studies and empirical data, this work assesses how these policies could promote innovation and technological advancement under PPP frameworks. It particularly examines how different state interventions - such as financial incentives, regulatory frameworks, and direct investments - interact with private sector capabilities to foster technological advancements. Additionally, it identifies best practices and potential areas for policy improvement to enhance the impact of PPPs on innovation.
