Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and support innovation

Goal 9: Industry, innovation und infrastructure

Goal 9 is divided into several sub-goals. To support economic prosperity and well-being for all, Goal 9.1 aims to build reliable and resilient infrastructure. Sustainable industrialisation aims to double the share of industry in employment and GDP in developing countries by 2030,
by giving smaller (industrial) access to financial services and affordable credit (9.2 + 9.3). To this end, the modernisation of infrastructure and industry with a focus on environmentally sound technologies, as well as the promotion of scientific and industrial research and development as well as access to the internet (9.4, 9.5) is necessary.

In particular, the least developed countries should be supported in building up their infrastructure (9.a). Research and development should be made possible with a supportive political environment and broad access to communication and information technology (9.b, 9.c).
