gives rise to

Leads to producing

Gives rise to means causes or produces, especially when one thing leads naturally to another: Inequality gives rise to social unrest.

The phrase suggests emergence rather than direct creation—conditions give rise to consequences, discoveries give rise to new fields of inquiry.

More formal than "leads to" or "causes."
