Teknologisk

Teknologisk is an adjective used in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish to describe something related to technology or characterized by technology. It is formed from the noun teknologi (technology) plus the adjectival suffix -isk, meaning “pertaining to.” The term shares its roots with the English word technological and ultimately derives from Greek techne and logos via Latin technologia.

In usage, teknologisk modifies nouns to indicate technological nature, capability, or sophistication. Examples include teknologisk utstyr (technological equipment), teknologisk utvikling (technological development), and en teknologisk løsning (a technological solution). The word is common in science, industry, media, and policy discourse.

In Nordic languages, teknologisk serves as a broad descriptor for technology-related aspects rather than naming a field. The corresponding noun is teknologi (technology). Related phrases include teknologisk innovasjon (technological innovation) and teknologisk infrastruktur (technological infrastructure). The term thus functions across contexts to convey modernization, digitalization, and the integration of scientific knowledge into devices, systems, and processes.
