ICT for Goal 9: Infrastructure, Industrialization, Innovation

By end 2016, 47% of the world's population is using the Internet. In the world's least-developed countries, more than 80% of the population still has no access to the Internet.​

"There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and this is the most important problem we can focus on." (Mark Zuckerberg)

Without the digital infrastructure that powers our wireless world and forms the backbone of our digital economy, the world would not be able to deliver the ICT applications that enable scalable solutions to the SDGs.
