History
The Science and Technology Division was formed in 1997 out of portions of a number of branches of the Strategic Analysis, Sectors and Technology Division of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism. The units included parts of the Manufacturing Sectors Branch, Service Sectors Branch and Capital Goods and Technology Sectors Branch.
The Science and Technology Division existed under the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology (1997-2003); the Ministry of Enterprise, Opportunity and Innovation (2003); and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (2003-2005).
The Science and Technology Division consisted of the Research, Technology and Innovation Branch; the Information and Communications Technologies Branch; and the Life Sciences and Technologies Branch.
With the creation of the new Ministry of Research and Innovation in 2005, the Science and Technology Division no longer existed, although some of its responsibilities were transferred to the Research and Commercialization Division.
