SDG Innovate: Science and Technology for Sustainable Development

Presented by SGInnovate & UNDP
Partnered with Royal Danish Embassy

Creating knowledge and understanding through science equips us to find solutions to today’s acute economic, social and environmental challenges and to achieving sustainable development and greener societies. From high-tech systems that allow farmers to predict yield and waste to recyclable food packaging material, technology is being harnessed to overcome challenges such as climate change, pollution and the over-consumption of resources.
