Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital maturity and digital ecosystems on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in BRICS countries. Focusing on SDGs 4 (Education), 8 (Decent Work), 9 (Innovation), 11 (Smart Cities), and 17 (Partnerships), the research evaluates how digital transformation, through government and private sector investments, digital skills, and innovation, influences SDG progress. The study utilizes secondary data from reputable sources and employs Pearson correlation analysis to measure the relationship between digital maturity scores and SDG outcomes. The findings highlight that countries like China and India have made significant strides in aligning digital strategies with SDG goals, while countries like South Africa and Brazil face challenges, particularly in digital inclusion and infrastructure. The research underscores the importance of targeted investments in digital infrastructure and inclusion to foster sustainable development, promote innovation, and bridge gender and regional digital gaps for achieving the SDGs.
