Sector Importance of S&T

Nation-building involves constructing a national identity to unite a population through shared culture, history, and race. It has four key components: economic development to boost productivity; social development to build individual and societal confidence; political unity and stability; and institutional development of education and health systems to empower citizens. Science and technology are important to many sectors. They enhance security capabilities, facilitate communication, fuel industry expansion, generate energy, allow non-profits to reach more people, power charitable outreach, and enable remote education. Countries' status with science and technology ranges from developed nations with robust innovation systems like Canada, Netherlands and Germany to developing countries focusing on areas like agriculture through government initiatives, to least developed nations working to build research
