Stimulating digital innovation for growth and inclusiveness - Papers - OECD iLibrary
This report analyses the importance of the adoption and the effective use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for enabling digital innovation for growth and inclusiveness, and discusses the role of public policies in stimulating such adoption and use.
