Abstract
Since the 1990s, there is no discussion that information technologies (IT) and the Internet have transformed everything in its path and have reshaped our societies. In the same way, they have changed the economic models in the industrial, academic, and governmental sectors, redefining the behaviors, preferences, and ways of living of our communities. Today, the generation of knowledge is a fundamental part of the development of economies. Information about the application of new knowledge represents the digital transformation of the models and processes carrying out the management of technological and non-technological innovation. Innovation becomes the element that gives companies a competitive advantage, and scientific and technical research becomes the basis for wealth creation and economic development. Hence, when technology, people, and data are connected, transformative, and sustainable innovation occurs. Accelerating the digital transformation and the increase in ICTs investments in the various environments and sectors allows us to be in harmony with the full growth and development that occurs worldwide in the modern fourth industrial revolution. The present chapter aims to integrate the innovation accelerators of the four pillars of technologies of the third platform in the interrelations of technological management among the actors of the quadruple helix for digital transformation.
