#9: Industry, Inno. & Infrastructure
Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily dependent on investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress.
However, even before COVID-19, global manufacturing, the engine of overall economic growth, has been steadily declining due to tariffs and trade tensions. Some basic infrastructure remains scarce in many developing countries.
The technology forces and SDG supporters in our Chamber family are make a positive impact. Check our advocates who keep inspiring us: Polycare develops innovative construction technology which makes sustainable habitats affordable and aims to drive empowerment and circular economy; NanoTerra produces innovative concrete additives for road construction which improve the quality and durability and reduce CO2 emissions. We really affect a change if we act now.
Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily dependent on investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress.
Global manufacturing, an engine of economic growth, has been steadily declining due to tariffs and trade tensions; airline industry is facing steepest decline in its history with 51% drop in airline passengers; basic infrastructure like roads, information and communication technologies, sanitation, electrical power and water remains scarce in developing countries. Failing to improve above could translate into poor health care, inadequate sanitation and limited access to education.
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.
EUTEC Chamber calls for action among technology forces on establishing standards and regulations that ensure companies’ projects are sustainably managed and using our networking to promote sustainable growth and prioritize the SDGs. The price is heavy if we do not act now! #UNSDG Goal 9 Industries, Innovation and Infrastructure
