Sustainable Development Through Technological Innovations and Data Analytics

Abstract

The integration of technological innovations and data analytics into sustainable development presents an opportunity to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequities. This editorial introduces the Sustainable Development Impact Through Technological Innovations and Data Analytics (SDITIDA) framework, offering a conceptual foundation for aligning technology with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a rigorous review process, nine articles were selected for this special issue, showcasing interdisciplinary approaches and diverse applications of technology in sustainability. These contributions examine areas such as smart home technologies, AI maturity frameworks, blockchain-enabled agricultural practices, and big data analytics for organizational performance. Collectively, the issue highlights actionable strategies for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, advancing the discourse on the socio-technical dimensions of sustainability and promoting equitable, sustainable outcomes.
