ASPI’s two-decade Critical Technology Tracker: The rewards of long-term research investment

28 Aug 2024

The report, ASPI’s Two-Decade Critical Technology Tracker: The Rewards of Long-Term Research Investment, provides a comprehensive analysis of global trends in high-impact research across 64 critical technologies over the past two decades (2003-2023). Produced by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), the report highlights how China has emerged as a dominant leader in most critical technologies, surpassing the United States in research output for 57 of the 64 technologies analyzed. The report also identifies key global shifts in research leadership, with India and other emerging economies increasing their presence in the top five rankings for various technologies. The analysis emphasizes the importance of sustained investment in research and development, cautioning that countries that reduce their investment risk losing their competitive edge in these critical areas. The report is intended to inform policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders about the strategic implications of these trends and the potential risks of technological monopolies. The report also includes projections for future research leadership up to 2030, offering insights into which countries and institutions are likely to dominate in key technologies in the coming years.
