Technological innovation plays a decisive role in the evolution of changes towards a new model that involves improving development, without leaving anyone behind, and with the focus on avoiding inequality and injustice, ensuring better protection of the environment. These are broadly the foundations of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.

Technology with its multiplier effect can accelerate the achievement of objectives and goals. There are four technologies (based on AI) that allow addressing the five basic elements on which the 2030 Agenda is structured:** people, prosperity, planet, peace and alliances.** The interconnection of the five pillars of the 2030 Agenda and with four technological blocks that pivot on the Internet of Things (IoT), Automation, the Analysis of large volumes of data (Big Data) and Advanced Robotics is essential so that the developed world that we know is in balance and the current imbalances are corrected. Let’s review the application of some technologies that can allow achieving these goals.

In the fight against hunger, biotechnology is being applied to obtain crop varieties resistant to inclement weather and pathogens, this could multiply crop yields.

Genotechnics is the branch of genetics that allows us to manipulate biological systems, including the human genome. Open the door to personalized precision medicine and new treatments for diseases and epidemics. With big data it is possible to make projections on diseases and outbreaks, favoring the availability and forecast of health services. Professionals are more prepared for illnesses and health practices, and patients have more information and are more transparent.
