EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES – A DEFINITION
Emergent technologies are technologies perceived as capable of changing the status quo and are described by their:
- Radical Novelty;
- Fast growth;
- Uncertainty;
- Ambiguity;
- Prominent Impact;
- Degree of coherence in persisting over time;
- Considerable impact on socio-economics.
A wide range of emergent technologies could have significant impact on transforming society:
- Biotechnology;
- Nanotchnologogy;
- Synthetic Biology;
- Autonomous Systems & Biomimetics;
- Internet of Things;
- Robotics, etc…

INNOVATION, STANDARDS, REGULATIONS – A
DEFINITION
“Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method". However,
innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new
requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. […]
The term "innovation" can be defined as something original and more effective and,
as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.”
Standards vs. Regulations
Standards are developed in recognised standardisation bodies and they are
voluntary and consensus-driven.
Regulations are mandatory legal restrictions released and enacted by the
government.

EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES & INNOVATION
Emergent technology and innovation are usually high risk as they present unclear and undefined :
- Output;
- Impact on society and adoption;
- Risks;
- Threat for society;
- Continuous evolutions;
- Applications;
- End users and products;
- As well as requiring hybrid technology implementations crossing different technology fields.

Regulatory Challenges
WHY DO WE NEED REGULATION OR STANDARDS FOR INNOVATION?
NSR – This document does not contain any export controlled technical data 8
REGULATIONS - STANDARDS: ENABLER OR OBSTACLE?
Regulatory Environment & Standards are seen
as an obstacle when they:
- Imped interoperability and cross-knowledge
fertilisation across sectors;
- Support closing the multi-technology sourcing
avenue;
- Cannot support timely the evolution rate of the
technologies;
- Dictate and prescribe the technology choice
discouraging different solutions and new entrants;
- Prescribe a level of stringency inconsistent with
available cost-efficiency technology;
- Are inconsistent across technology fields to support
hybrid technology development;
- Are likely to increase costs;
- Lack of legislative uniformity for the technological
development.

Regulatory Environment & Standards are seen as an enabler when:
- Provide common framework for industry to test the technologies;
- Support process and procedure transparency;
- Encourages best practices;
- Enables safety framework for new technology introduction;
- Enables technology benchmarking;
- Guide or even force companies to invest in innovative activities – Eg: Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of CHemicals (REACH) initiative;
- Impose self-regulatory frameworks to industry to support compliance towards the common framework;
- Increase innovation framework stability and enable investment to support growth of economic welfare;
- Enables clear procedures to engage with legislator and commercial bodies internationally.

CONCLUSIONS
NSR – This document does not contain any export controlled technical data 14
CONCLUSIONS
- Standards and regulations are key to the innovation process to support the approach and procedural robustness;
- Innovation requires different stages of standards and regulatory requirements.
- Regulations & Standards compliance may:
• Force innovation;
• Inhibit the innovation process if too prescriptive;
- Major challenge is defining frameworks to support hybrid technologies developments.
