Abstract :

Digital transformation is steadily changing states and organizations, and making them more cutthroat, as well as it offers a few valuable open doors for monetary development and success, as it empowers nations to including, more expanded instructive open doors, widespread admittance to the web and an exhaustive and supportive climate to the improvement interaction. The Communication and Information Technology industry's role in achieving sustainable development is highlighted in this paper, which focuses on the concept of sustainable development. hence, this paper audits the 17 SDGs (supportable advancement objectives) and makes sense of what data innovation has mean for every objective. In addition, we track progress toward the SDGs, existing e-governance initiatives, and big data initiatives in four distinct nations in the world. While in the next part, we significantly review the digital transformation in Egypt and its contribution in achieving sustainable development in Egypt.
