Acting on the core aspects of UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); to curtail inequality issues, diminish environmental degradation and provide a secure and resilient livelihood, remains a complex challenge for civil society and United Nations member states.While the SDGs inherited a wide array of pending targets from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), member states are increasingly using the SDGs as a comprehensive and adaptable f...
Industries are crossing today a crucial transition in terms of technologies and sustainability is a key driver for them. The integration of new technologies, if done appropriately and fast enough can help industries become more competitive; if not managed accordingly however IoT misuse can have adverse consequences on industries and their external environment.Similarly, IoT applications can greatly contribute t...
According to Kevin Ashton, the Internet of Things turns the world into data. But what does that mean? The key enabler for unlocking the business value of the IoT is using a technique called business model innovation. In contrast to technology, product or market innovation, business model innovation is a higher level innovation method to find entirely new business models. IoT in this sense helps companies perform a digital transformation to achieve for example n...

For the Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved within the stipulated time-frame, it is essential that the targets within the main goals are executed at both local and national levels. Mainstreaming the SDGs into local/national development planning policies can ensure that the SDGs are progressed on simultaneously with the existing national targets. In this scenario, new and emerging technologies could serve as the fulcrum for realization of the SDGs and their associated targets.
