Sustainable development is the idea that human societies must live and meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Specifically, sustainable development is a way of organizing society so that it can exist in the long term.

This means taking into account both the imperatives of the present and those of the future, such as the preservation of the environment and natural resources or social and economic equity.

The aim of the HCT International Business Conference, ASD2021, is to contribute to the research and knowledge on sustainable development and the role of business, innovation and digital technologies in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs).
