SAP and UNIDO Join Forces to Enable UN Sustainable Development Goals with Innovative Technologies
October 17 — WALLDORF — SAP SE and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) today announce the signing of a joint declaration to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and monitor its implementation, in particular in the area of inclusive and sustainable industrialization, by utilizing innovative technologies including analytics, reporting, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain and others.
The joint initiative will focus on the development of an innovative platform, SAP Digital Boardroom, to monitor, manage and report on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and their industry-related targets.
