UN SDG 09: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Goal 9 aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation, all crucial for economic growth, social development, and climate action.

Encouragingly, medium-high and high-tech industries have shown strong growth.
