Technological innovation is underpinned in technology, which can be defined as a complex system composed of more than one entity or subsystem of technologies and a relationship that holds between each entity and at least one other entity in the system for achieving specific goals. New technology is driven by inventions of new things and new ways of doing things( originating in advances in basic and applied science) that are transformed into usable innovations in markets to satisfy needs, achieve goals, solve problems of adopters that take advantage of important opportunities, or to cope with consequential problems / environmental threats. Technological innovation is characterized by various typologies that can be categorized on an increasing scale of change and socioeconomic impact, given by noncremental innovations( progressive modifications of existing products and / or processes, such as detergents for dark clothes); radical innovations( a drastic change of existing products / processes, or creation of new products to satisfy needs or solve problems in society, such as contact lenses); technological systems( a cluster of innovations that are technically and economically inter-related, e. g., nanotechnology or biotechnology); technological revolutions( pervasive changes in technology affecting many branches of the economy, such as generalpurpose technologies of information and communication technologies or artificial intelligence having a technological dynamism and a pervasive use in a wide range of sectors.
