Emerging Technologies In Sustainable Innovation, Management and Development

ICETSIMD 2025 was conceived as a vital platform for academicians, researchers, and industry leaders. Its primary purpose was to explore the transformative potential of emerging technologies in driving sustainable development. To ensure the high quality, originality, and relevance of the contributions, all submissions to the ICETSIMD 2025 conference underwent a rigorous double-blind peer review process. We received 300 manuscript submissions, from which 100 were selected for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Each manuscript was evaluated by at least two independent experts based on criteria including scientific rigor, methodological soundness, clarity, and contribution to the conference themes.
