Hi Jayden!
“A scientifically and technologically demanding industry” means, it requires a lot of systematic processes or scientific activities like research, observation, prediction, and a lot of scientific inquiries, explanations, results, etc. Thus, performing such scientific processes, evaluation or lab tests will definitely require a certain technology or various technologies, even advanced technology to satisfy the scientific research/inquiries depending on the purpose or objective.
Most likely, in order to achieve a more precise laboratory results or a more reliable evaluation of any trial and error or scientific investigation, a modern revolutionary technological advancement is always needed.
This is a very demanding industry indeed!
Have a great day!
