Technology to Policy

Technology to Policy (T2P) is research tool created to forecast the public policy impact of newly invented or developed emerging technologies. Using T2P, a research is capable of predicting the likely policy effects of an emerging technology (ET) based on the policy impact that a similar preceding technology (PT) had. The methodology assumes that if an ET is similar to a PT, then an ET will have a policy impact similar to the PT.
