Science and technology drivers. In this century, we are witnessing the introduction of novel technologies at a pace never seen before. Techno-economically, the twenty-first century is deeply linked to what Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum (WEF) has coined as "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" 16 .
