SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure 

SDG 9 challenges us to construct a foundation for the future. It calls for developing a resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. This goal is the bedrock of economic development, increasing productivity, and poverty eradication, aiming to create quality infrastructure and industries that are more efficient and environmentally friendly. It champions technological progress and scientific research, particularly in developing countries. A more universal and increasing enhancement is called to cover a wider range of the global population, which identifies actions and narrows critical gaps relevant for the basis of economic growth. By upgrading our industries and ensuring universal access to technologies and finance for the future, SDG 9 connects our legacy of innovation with the urgent need to build a more connected and sustainable world for all.

SDG 9 in Australia

Australia also shows broadly positive, moderately improving trends for SDG 9, especially in research outputs and innovation indicators. However, a few measures, like logistics performance or specific inclusion gaps, still need attention to fully secure sustainable, inclusive infrastructure and innovation.

 SDG 9 in Mexico

Mexico is improving on SDG 9 but faces more mixed progress, with some indicators (like logistics performance and research expenditure) stagnating or decreasing. While access to roads and digital connectivity are strengthening, greater investment in R&D and innovation systems is needed to accelerate SDG 9 achievement.
