Abstract: Technological innovation currently is one of the crucial factors influencing economic growth and contributing to development. However, our primary aim by presenting this paper is not solely the economic progress ensured by innovation, but rather to study the impact of technological innovation on the three pillars of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental). This means that we will examine the repercussions at an economic, social, and environmental level. To do so, we have worked with a time series covering the period from 1990 to 2021 in Morocco, estimated by the ARDL model to figure out short-term and long-term results. Our findings were as follows: concerning the relationship between technological innovation and the economic pillar, it is seen to be positive in the short term and tends to become slightly negative in the long term. Regarding the relationship between technological innovation and the environmental pillar, a positive impact is clear, meaning that an increase in technological innovation levels reduces environmental damage. However, in the long term, this trend may reverse as it tends to become less positive or even negative.
