Abstract
Sustainable innovation is a critical driver for economic development in emerging economies, and Africa has shown tremendous potential in harnessing technology to achieve sustainable growth. This paper explores the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and technological advancement in Africa. By employing a case-study approach, this article analyzes various African nations' efforts to foster technological innovation that aligns with sustainable development goals (SDGs). The study highlights the role of governments, private enterprises, and international partnerships in advancing sustainable innovation in key sectors such as renewable energy, agriculture, healthcare, and financial technologies. The findings underscore the importance of a supportive policy environment, investment in education, and the role of inclusive innovation to ensure that technological advancements benefit all citizens. Recommendations for future policy directions and areas for further research are also discussed.
