Introduction

There is nothing more attractive for students committed to sustainability than becoming agents of change for their community, country, or, why not, the world. To achieve that dream, the sacrifices that have to be made, the hours of study, sleeplessness, and even disappointments do not matter. To enhance their learning experience, the purpose of this book is twofold: to present and debate the relevant body of SDG9 literature with a particular focus on U.N. documents and explore the fascinating and cross-cutting aspects that jeopardise achieving SDG9 Industry, innovation, and infrastructure.

This book is addressed to talented bachelor and postgraduate students and professors in the field of Engineering Management or closely related academic programs. For them, contributing to the consolidation of inclusive and sustainable industrialisation should be the highest aspiration in their professional life.
