Rapid innovation-based industries are defined as industries populated by New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs), where NTBFs are defined as companies whose products are new technologies, are based on their own and others' R&D effort to commercialize applications of new technology, or companies whose main revenue stream is based on R&D efforts to develop new technologies.

71. OEM is a sub-contracting manufacturing relationship in which one side manufactures equipment for the other side to be sold under the second sides brand name and in accordance with the second sides detailed specifications. Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) is a subcontracting relationship in which the manufacturing side is also giving detailed and integrated design services to the brand name company, which supplies it with only high level design specifications. Own Brand Manufacturing (OBM) happens when the manufacturer is manufacturing products to be sold under its own brand.
