Innovation is central to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to economic development across the world. One of the most open and democratic countries in the region, with a strategic location, educated work force, strong legacy of applied research, competitive wage levels, ample natural resources, and vibrant and growing links with the neighbouring region, Kyrgyzstan is well positioned to benefit from untapped potential for innovation-led, sustainable growth.
The present Review is the seventh in the UNECE Innovation for Sustainable Development Review series, after reviews of Belarus (twice), Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Armenia and Tajikistan. The Reviews take a comprehensive approach, with strong country involvement and peer review of preliminary findings.
