They are the ones who have the responsibility to develop not only new technologies, but also new methods that allow people to continue obtaining the necessary resources without endangering the planet. They are also responsible for driving forward the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is based on the development of advances such as artificial intelligence, the internet of things, robotics, and quantum computing. The ideal is to achieve a balance between the modern world and nature.
