INDUSTRY, INNOVATION & INFRASTRUCTURE

Welcome to Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure

Discover the latest advancements in industry, infrastructure and innovation around the world.

The world is changing rapidly, and the way we build, grow, and develop needs to change with it. This is the core message behind Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. At the heart of this goal lies the understanding that a strong foundation is essential for progress. Resilient infrastructure, like reliable transportation networks, clean water systems, and sustainable energy grids, provides the backbone for a thriving society.

But a strong foundation is just the beginning. We also need sustainable industrialization. This means creating industries that are not only efficient and productive, but also environmentally conscious and socially responsible. Imagine factories that use less energy and produce fewer pollutants, while still creating good jobs with fair wages.

The key to unlocking both resilient infrastructure and sustainable industry is fostering innovation. New technologies and ideas can help us build smarter, cleaner, and more efficient systems. From renewable energy sources to advanced manufacturing techniques, innovation holds the power to transform our world.

However, Goal 9 goes beyond just building things. It emphasizes that these advancements must be accessible to all people. We need to create an industrial landscape that offers opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or circumstance. This means investing in education and training, and ensuring that the benefits of progress are shared widely.

“The only sustainable competitive advantage is your ability to learn faster than your competitors.”
- Peter Drucker

Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries. To achieve Goal 9 by 2030, it is also essential to support LDCs, invest in advanced technologies, lower carbon emissions and increase mobile broadband access.

Inclusive and sustainable industrialization, together with innovation and infrastructure, can unleash dynamic and competitive economic forces that generate employment and income. They play a key role in introducing and promoting new technologies, facilitating international trade and enabling the efficient use of resources. The growth of new industries means improvement in the standard of living for many of us. If industries pursue sustainability, this approach will have a positive effect on the environment.

In conclusion, Goal 9 is a call to action for a future where strong infrastructure, sustainable industries, and cutting-edge innovation work together to create a more prosperous, equitable, and resilient world. By investing in these areas, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to benefit from a growing economy and a healthy planet.

INDUSTRY , INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE:

WHY IT MATTERS

  • What’s the goal here?

    To build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

  • Why?

    Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily dependent on investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress.In the face of a rapidly changing global economic landscape and increasing inequalities, sustained growth must include industrialization that first of all, makes opportunities accessible to all people, and two, is supported by innovation and resilient infrastructure.

  • So what’s the problem?

    Basic infrastructure like roads, information and communication technologies, sanitation, electrical power and water remains scarce in many developing countries. Approximately 1.2 billion people do not have access to reliable phone services. 2.3 billion people worldwide lack access to basic sanitation and almost 800 million lack access to water. In developing countries, barely 30 per cent of agricultural production undergoes industrial processing.

  • Why should I care?

    It’s about our livelihoods. The growth of new industries means improvement in the standard of living for many of us. Also, if industries pursue sustainability, this approach will have a positive effect on the environment. Climate change affects all us.

  • What is the price of inaction?

    The price is steep. Ending poverty would be more difficult, given the industry’s role as a core driver of the global development agenda to eradicate poverty and advance sustainable development.Additionally, failing to improve infrastructure and promote technological innovation could translate into poor health care, inadequate sanitation and limited access to education.

  • How can we help?

    Establish standards and promote regulations that ensure company projects and initiatives are sustainably managed. Collaborate with NGOs and the public sector to help promote sustainable growth within developing countries. Think about how industry impacts on your life and well-being and use social media to push for policymakers to prioritize the SDGs. Organize or participate in a Think Tank contest. You can foster your and your colleagues’ entrepreneurial spirit by organizing a local idea contest and inviting companies or startups to mentor the winners. Create a hotspot map. There are a lot of public spaces with free WiFi access. By mapping them out in your neighborhood and spreading awareness through social media, flyers or announcements you can help more people access the interne
