"Investment will enable Ireland to stay ahead of the curve, grow enterprise, build sustainable jobs and facilitate social advancement."
The Government today (Sunday June 18th 2006) launched its New Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation to 2013 , which will drive economic growth, continue to create high quality and high paying jobs and facilitate social advancement. The implementation of the Strategy will form a central plank of the forthcoming NDP and will involve expenditure by Government of ?2.7 billion in the period up to 2008. This funding builds on the very substantial funding of ?658m per annum in 2006 allocated to the strategy and includes a priority commitment of an additional ?192 million for 2007 and 2008 over existing investment
The Government's expenditure will place Ireland at the forefront of generating and using new knowledge for economic and social progress, within an innovation driven culture. The Strategy will see Ireland secure its position as one of the world's advanced knowledge economies and become renowned worldwide for the excellence of its research. It will put the benefits and opportunities of science, technology and innovation at the heart of Irish economic and social development, grow our enterprise sector in a sustainable manner and facilitate social advancement.
