Through innovation-driven programs, startup and incubation support, industry collaboration, technological development, and capacity-building initiatives, the Academy continued to empower students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and partners to contribute to sustainable industrial development and a more innovative future.

Build Resilient Infrastructure, Promote Sustainable Industrialization & Foster Innovation

The UN explains: Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries. It has long been recognized that growth in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment in infrastructure.

The UN has defined 8 Targets and 12 Indicators for SDG 9. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.
