Italian term or phrase: Il driver dell'innovazione tecnologica
In questo articolo scritto da un sociologo riguardo al rapporto tra i giovani e il vino, si afferma che i giovani rappresentano il driver dell'innovazione tecnologica e comunicativa all'interno della loro comunità.
Non riesco a spiegarmi il significato della parola "driver" e come tradurlo.
Tenendo conto che è per una rivista di enologia.
