How do I invest in innovative technologies?

Gaining new insights through research and using these insights to develop and implement new technologies is part of the business model of many companies.

Many of these efforts, with particular economic impact and dissemination, are expected to be in the health sector. The same applies to digital technologies, whose effects will probably not result in evolution but in a complete transformation of value chains and sales processes. Index providers evaluate companies according to their ambitions for innovation and construct specific indices based on this information.
