Trends and Challenges in the Management of Technological Projects for the Sustainable Development in the Digital Revolution Era

Dear Colleagues,

The sustainable development agenda, established in 2015, is a set of global objectives for 2030, known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to transform the world by protecting the planet, eradicating povertyand ensuring worldwide prosperity. In this context, both stakeholders (governments, public sector, private sector, end-users, etc.) and technology play a key role in improving the quality of life and responding to society's socio-economic development challenges. The integration of sustainability in the governance and management of technology projects is a means to achieve these goals. Sustainability can be applied throughout the project life cycle, from ideation to delivery of the final product. This issue includes technology projects that, due to their holistic nature, are tools for change, considering the balance between the short and long term, local and global orientation, transparency, responsibility and ethics, as well as the development of competences related to sustainability, such as strategy, compliance with standards and regulations, culture and values, integrity and reliability, commitment and negotiation, results orientation, scope, procurement, stakeholders or change and transformation, among others. Of particular interest will be research that, in the context of the digital revolution, connects with artificial intelligence as drivers of the strategic actions set out in the SDGs.
