Morphology

tech-friendly + environment

The phrase is compositionally built from 'tech' (technology) + 'friendly' applied to 'environment', so its meaning — an environment that welcomes or supports technology and innovation — is directly derivable from the constituents. The '-friendly' adjective pattern is highly productive in English (e.g., 'user-friendly', 'child-friendly') and cross-linguistically recognizable, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand it.

Etymology

Tech-friendly environment creates a simple image: imagine a garden where new plants have good soil, light, and care. The word tech means tools and machines, friendly means welcoming, and environment is the place around them, so a tech-friendly environment is a place that 'supports technology' and 'helps ideas grow'.
