Valenz

English translation: Valence

Social Sciences - Economics
German term or phrase: Valenz
This is from a text on artificial intelligence and its effects on mankind.
I am not sure whether Valenz can be translated as valence in this instance. Any suggestions welcome.

Mensch-Maschine-Konvergenz ersetzt nach und nach Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion und definiert eben damit mittlerweile entscheidend die ökonomische Valenz – und damit auch das praktische Zukunftsgewicht – des Sektors.

Many thanks!
