Ethnic innovation policy is an unwritten technology innovation policy operating in the social sphere. Such innovation policy lies with the people and can be located in their culture. That is, its actors operate mainly from the sociocultural dimensions as opposed to the political dimensions. An attempt to achieve full and self-sustaining technological innovation system in political states with marked ethnic divisions yields a phenomenon I have termed ethnic innovation policy. It is ubiquitous and resides, as it were, in the culture through collective identity reconstruction. It is an innovation policy ubiquitously authored by a people with a common ethno-religious identity. This paper is a conceptual framework on the notion of ethnic innovation policy.
Keywords: ethnic ownership of technology, ethnic technology identity-competition, ethnic markets, ethnic technological nationalism, ethnicization of technology.
