24-25 May 2022

Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) and the Indian Ocean Rim
Association (IORA)

Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) have been recognised as one of the
main drivers of economic development and environmental sustainability. STI
plays an even more important role in the context of the “Global Agenda -
2030” and for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). STI is an
important driver for increased productivity and value addition that
stimulates the growth and competitiveness of a nation. Application of STI
is necessary for enabling and accelerating the global transformation
towards prosperous, inclusive and environmentally sustainable economies in
developing and developed countries alike. For effective implementation of
most of the 17 SDGs and achieving their set targets, it is necessary that
STI has to be directly and indirectly applied with appropriate focus,
especially in the Emerging Economies (EE), Least Developed Countries (LDCs)
and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). In order to deliberate on the
role of STI in achieving SDGs and to discuss the dynamics of the STI
system, the Centre for Science and Technology of the Non-Aligned and Other
Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre), New Delhi and the Indian Ocean Rim
