Springer Nature SDG Programme

SDG 9: Industry Innovation & Infrastructure

SDG 9 has a focus on supporting collaborative evidence-based approaches to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation. This includes manufacturing, public infrastructure, accessible and affordable and ethical communication technology, and support for small businesses and innovation-based entrepreneurship.

This update focuses on Artificial Intelligence in Industry. At the same time both lauded and feared, this topic is currently shaping conversations around the world. We present  content from a variety of perspectives – computer science, engineering, social science, business, philosophy, and more.
