In a world of complex and interconnected challenges, the private sector's role in advancing sustainable development has never been more pivotal.

Companies today have a unique opportunity nay, a responsibility, to leverage technology effectively and accelerate progress towards the 17 interlinked Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address development concerns for people and the planet.

The global goals, adopted by the United Nations, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030, all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
