SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Prince Sultan University has been encouraging faculty members to establish external collaborations with academic and industrial partners, and currently there are several on-going collaborations. In addition, to support innovation PSU has been sponsoring patents applications. There are two published patents, and six more patents have been submitted in collaboration with Oblon patent office for application as patents in the US patent office and they are now under evaluation.

Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9) focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. PSU has played a significant role in contributing to and reporting on SDG 9.

In summary, PSU has played a crucial role in advancing SDG 9 and has contributed to reporting on the progress toward achieving this goal through its research, education, innovation, partnerships, and advocacy efforts. By actively engaging with SDG 9-related activities and sharing its experiences, PSU has helped drive sustainable industrialization, resilient infrastructure development, and innovation.
