Digital Technologies: Key Vector In Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

When addressing the issue of sustainable development, we need to consider both a microeconomic and a macroeconomic perspective. This is necessary because it is only through cooperation between business organisations and states that we can ensure an environment favourable to the development of future generations. Measures taken at state level and promoted by international organisations form the basis of the policies adopted by national and multinational economic players who aim to ensure that their operations are consistent with sustainable development. The current context in which socio-economic activities are carried out requires a reconfiguration of the strategies implemented by companies, institutions and other international organisations whose activities have an impact on the global economy. Increasing interdependencies between organisations located in different parts of the world indicate the need for a unified approach to the use of their resources because their activity is influencing individuals globally. The future progress of society will be influenced by the extent to which high-performance technologies are integrated into the infrastructure for doing business (regardless of the sector of the economy), whether we are talking about business organisations or state institutions. From this point of view, a major role in the digitalisation of the society and the promotion/implementation of sustainable development principles lies with ICT companies that produce software and develop new technologies that enable better use of the resources available to various market players. In this context, the need for macroeconomic interventions to create a favourable framework for the development of new technological and social innovations by supporting education and the business environment becomes necessary. These two components of the society are essential in promoting and respecting the principles of sustainable development.
