Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic caused some long-term consequences in various fields, including science, technology and innovation (STI). The main objective of the article is to present the position of the United States during the pandemic in the light of the Global Innovation Index and to present the STI policy measures implemented in the USA to deal with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis shows that the United States is doing relatively well in terms of STI, which is reflected in its position in the GII. Still, in some areas, STI outperforms its main competitor, the EU. However, it cannot be ignored that the effects of a pandemic may be seen over a longer period of time due to the nature of innovation processes. In the USA, during the Covid-19 pandemic, more than 40 STI policy initiatives were implemented with a focus on drug development and others to maintain the stability of the STI system during turbulent times with multiple pandemic shocks.
