SDG 9: Industry, Infrastructure and Innovation.

Almar Bok, who will graduate from the MSc Global Business and Sustainability programme in 2019, explains how building a resilient society relies on innovation, for example by creating jobs or for increasing the energy efficiency of industry. He stresses the importance of an inclusive process.

There has been steady progress towards SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, which aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

Recent growth in manufacturing output has been accompanied by a decrease in the carbon intensity of industry. Developing economies are benefitting the most from the value added by medium-high- and high-technology sectors, and the mobile broadband network continues to grow.
