Keywords:
Sustainable Economic Development; Innovation; Smart Technology; FutureAbstract
Innovation has been a primary human task throughout history. The ultimate goal of innovation is to create a smart and better future. Technology, science, and innovation are essential tools for achieving the SDGs. This study explores sustainable economic development based on smart technology innovation to create a smart future. This study uses a literature review method in an effort to convey relevant research directions and applications from selected literature to readers and discusses the main contributions of the selected literature, implementation considerations, challenges, and potential for creating a smart future through sustainable economic development based on smart technology innovation to encourage the development of relevant research in this field. The study used is an exploratory study that provides output on existing data, as well as an explanation of a discovery so that it can be used as an example for research studies in compiling or creating a clear discussion of the contents of the problem to be studied. The results of the literature review indicate that sustainable economic development based on smart technology can create a smart future. The benefits of smart technology innovation can be felt by every individual, community group, community, industry, country, region, and even the world. Sustainable economic development relies on smart technology innovation to optimize resource use, increase efficiency, and create jobs, enabling the realization of smart cities, efficient energy management, and a circular economy by reducing waste and encouraging sustainable practices, ultimately enabling a smart future.
