Summary of SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

SDG 9 focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. Industrial development is key to economic growth, but inequality in access to infrastructure persists, particularly in least developed countries. This goal emphasizes technology, sustainable industrial practices, and fostering innovation as critical to improving productivity, economic resilience, and competitiveness.
