4. Inclusive Sustainable Industrial Development
Production
processes that are
less carbon-intensive can save energy, reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions, while stimulating innovation, technological change, diversification and job creation.
New
development approach, which looks at society, economy, industry and the environment as a whole.
No one should
be left behind. No person – regardless of ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race or other status – is denied universal human rights and basic economic opportunities.

5. Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all
Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries
Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets
By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities
Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending

9. Improving Business Environment
A conducive Business Environment is among the key prerequisites for economic growth and poverty reduction, encourages competition and enhances the effectiveness and sustainability of other development interventions
Policy support and regulatory and institutional framework: policy, legal, institutional, and regulatory conditions that govern business activities
Competitiveness analysis and positioning studies
Financial and non-financial incentives
Improvements at national, sub-national and regional levels – as standalone interventions and as a cross-cutting theme accounted for in an array of other TII interventions

10. Strengthening Innovation Capacities & Capabilities
INNOVATION AND PROSPERITY
Sustained long-term economic growth brings prosperity to people
The pace of long-term growth depends on the rate of technological change
Technology can be acquired or created
UNIDO assists countries with technology acquisition (transfer) programmes
For self-sufficiency and enhanced absorptive capacity development of “own” innovation is crucial
Firms’ rate of innovation depends on own efforts and capabilities and the support infrastructure, the so called National/Sectorial System of Innovation
Science, Technology & Innovation Programme (STI) Services
STI Observatory
Mapping and measuring of the National/Sectorial Systems of Innovation
Firm-level innovation and productivity survey
Global fora and conference on innovation
Capacity building related to the above STI tools and approaches
Evidence-based action plans for TC

11. Enhancing Competitiveness of SMEs
UPGRADING
CLUSTERS
SME CONSORTIA
What is it?
It is a continuous process designed to prepare and adapt enterprises and their environment to the requirements of free trade.
How does UNIDO support?
By improving the competitiveness and development of industrial enterprises, strengthening the capacities of support intuitions, modernizing the industrial environment.
What are they?
They are agglomerations of interconnected enterprises and associated institutions. Firms in a cluster produce similar or related goods or services and are supported by a range of dedicated institutions located in spatial proximity.
How does UNIDO support?
By fostering and structuring linkages between cluster stakeholders (enterprises, institutions, service providers, etc.) and developing collective efficiency through joint actions.
What are they?
Formal voluntary alliances of SMEs:
In one ore more sectors, aiming at promoting the export of their members through joint actions (export consortia);
In one single value chain, aiming at adding value, increasing and protecting the reputation of a typical local product.
How does UNIDO support?
By coaching SME in the establishment of consortia, building the capacities of public and private support institutions, supporting the improvement of the regulatory incentive/framework.
Through clusters and consortia industrial upgrading can be more accessible to SME and increase its impact
