The project explores how UK-based internationalizing SMEs can leverage new Digital Technologies (DTs) to advance four critical "firm-level" UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 1) SDG7: Affordable and Clean Energy; 2) SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; 3) SDG12: Responsible Consumption and Production; and 4) SDG13: Climate Action.
