The term high-tech, covering the high-tech industry and the information-intensive service sector, is based on advanced scientific and technological expertise that requires science, technology, and innovation (STI), and is based on Research & Development expenditure. Sectoral, product and patent approaches are used for classification by OECD and European Union. Literature review on high-tech show that countries focusing on Research and Development Expenditures and new patents have succeeded in increasing their high-tech exports as well. Turkey is one of the countries where the levels of high-tech export is not at the desired levels yet therefore the government must give incentives for Research and Development expenditures and new patents for innovation, as high-tech export affects GDP growth positively.

The emergence of new firms and new industries plays a leading role in structural change in Australia. This has been reflected in a Government approach to industry development, which seeks to integrate industry and technology policies. This study examines the role and prospects of high technology industries, with particular emphasis on their links with research and development. Growth and adequacy of the venture capital market and a number of specific policy issues are of further concern. (DÜI-Sbt)
