Technology-driven is a term that can describe businesses, mindsets, innovation, or entire economies.  Many different factors can serve as the basis for a technology-driven business or a socio-economic process, such as:
  • Technology
  • Design and meaning
  • Culture
  • Profit
  • Supply and demand
Processes that are technology-driven refer to processes that are driven by the potentials of available technology.  For instance, a new scientific development can result in new technological advancements.

They allow technology to drive at least part of the value added by their organizations. For businesses, there are a number of advantages to being technology-driven:
  • Companies are more adaptable in the face of evolving technology, offering them more flexibility and agility
  • A culture that embraces change and innovation is often more creative, developing new solutions that perform well in the marketplace
  • Technology-driven companies often reap more substantial benefits from the technology they implement, which also gives them advantages in the marketplace
