Industry, Innovation And Infrastructure

Goal - 9
Goal 9 promotes resilient infrastructure, supports sustainable industrialization, and
fosters innovation.

Economic growth, social development, and climate action depend on investments in

infrastructure, sustainable industry, and technology. Growth should be aligned with
inclusive industrialization backed by innovation and resilient infrastructure to respond
to a shifting economy and growing inequalities.

The COVID-19 pandemic just accelerated a decline in global manufacturing, which is

the backbone of economic growth, already witnessed due to tariffs and trade
tensions.

This is primarily due to high inflation, energy price shocks, supply disruptions, and
global economic slowdown. Asian LDCs have registered progress, while the African
LDCs need to change course dramatically if they are to reach 2030. Medium-high and
high-tech industries performed robustly.

How much progress have we made?

Mobile broadband now covered 95 percent of the world's population as of 2022 but
remained inaccessible to some.

Global investment in research and development, as well as funding for economic

infrastructure in developing countries, has increased, with mobile connectivity showing
remarkable advancement, reaching 97 percent of the world population in a mobile signal

What needs to be done?

Infrastructure investment—transport, irrigation, energy, and ICT—leads to sustainable

development and community empowerment. Goal 9 would be achieved by 2030 if
support for the developed countries, investments in emerging technologies, carbon
emissions reduction, and mobile broadband access enhancement were to succeed.

Why should I care?

Inclusive and sustainable industrialization as well as innovation and infrastructure should

push competitive economic growth to create jobs and income. These are critical in
promoting new technologies, improving international trade, and optimizing resource
 TARGET OF GOAL – 9

Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including

regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development
and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for
all

Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030,

significantly raise industry’s share of employment and gross domestic
product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least
developed countries

Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in

particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable
credit, and their integration into value chains and markets
By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them
sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of
clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes,
with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective
capabilities

Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of

industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries,
including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the
number of research and development workers per 1 million people and
public and private research and development spending

Facilitate sustainable and resilient infrastructure development in developing

countries through enhanced financial, technological and technical support
to African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing
countries and small island developing States 18

Significantly increase access to information and communications

technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the
Internet in least developed countries by 2020
Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in
developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment
for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities
 Dear Jaisree,

21 January 2112

Greetings from, Nora the year 2112! I’m Nora,

Jaisree. I’m your next generations of you……… I am currently, in our
city enveloped by greenery and state of the art technology; it truly is a
sight to behold as I contemplate the extraordinary changes our world
has witnessed over the past few decades. I'm excited to impart some
reflections and anecdotes from this period that I hope will ignite
inspiration within you.

In the era we are fortunate to have overcome

the challenges of traffic jams and environmental pollution that plagued
us in the days gone by'. Nowadays majority of people choose to use
transportation options, like the Aero Fusion – a blend of a bicycle and a
car that effortlessly glides through the air following magnetic tracks.
Public transportation has undergone advancements. Now operates on
electricity with full automation to ensure safe travels, for all
passengers.

AI has become a part of our lives nowadays.

From personal assistants that help us stay organized, to health
tracking devices that improve our overall well being by efficiently
monitoring our health status. Think about having a companion AI that
knows your preferences and helps you develop skills or navigate
everyday challenges seamlessly!

The field of education has transformed over

the years to become increasingly personalized and interactive, with the
incorporation of virtual and augmented reality technologies that allow
for exploration of subjects in ways not, through traditional methods
before now. Students engage in tasks collaboratively. Tackle
challenges and innovative concepts that hold tangible significance for
our societys advancement.
 From Nora,

4 W CANVAS PROBLEM
1.To create a 4W Project Canvas for this situation,
we need to address the What, Why, Who, and
When aspects. Here’s a possible approach:

4W Project Canvas
1. What

The institute is facing an unprecedented shift in gender ratio, with the student population
changing to 70% girls and 30% boys, compared to the previous balanced ratio of 50% boys and
50% girls. This shift has resulted in a lack of space in the girls’ hostel to accommodate the
increased number of female students.

2. Why

The unexpected change in gender ratio could be due to social or institutional factors, such as
increased awareness and encouragement for girls in this field, making it an attractive choice for
female students. The institute was unprepared for this rapid shift and now needs to address the
infrastructure issues to accommodate the higher number of girls.

3. Who

Key stakeholders include:

• Institute Administration: Responsible for planning, funding, and implementing

infrastructure changes.

• Female Students: Affected by the space constraint in the hostel and may face
inconvenience.

• Parents of Female Students: Concerned about the living conditions and availability
of accommodation for their children.

• Hostel Management: Tasked with managing and adapting to the increased demand
for girls’ hostel space
 4. When

This issue needs to be addressed immediately, given that the current academic year has started,
and students need adequate accommodations. The institute should aim to implement both short-
term solutions (temporary adjustments) and long-term infrastructure improvements within the
year to ensure all students have adequate facilities.
2.Here is a 4W Project Canvas for the inclusive dining
experience described:

4W Project Canvas

1. What

The project aims to create an inclusive dining experience for individuals with visual
impairments. The goal is to enable visually impaired patrons to independently order
meals of their choice in a restaurant by providing accessible menus and ordering
assistance.

2. Why

Inclusivity in dining is essential to ensure that everyone, including differently-abled

individuals, can enjoy a comfortable and independent dining experience. Visually
impaired patrons may struggle to order from traditional menus, which limits their
autonomy and choice. This project promotes social inclusion, accessibility, and equal
opportunity.

3. Who
Key stakeholders include:

• Visually Impaired Customers: The primary beneficiaries who will gain

independence in ordering food.

• Restaurant Management: Responsible for implementing accessible solutions.

• Menu Designers: Tasked with creating accessible menus, possibly in braille or

as audio formats.

• Restaurant Staff: Trained to assist visually impaired customers in a respectful

and supportive
manner.

4. When
 The project should ideally be implemented within the next few months to make the
restaurant more accessible. A pilot program could be launched within a month,
followed by full implementation in six months, with regular reviews and improvements.

This canvas outlines the objective, the importance of inclusivity, the key people
involved, and a timeline for making the dining experience accessible to all.
