Abstract: Policymakers seek the best ways to promote the development of their countries. With Agenda 2030 at the top of the conversation, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between SDG9 and GCI. The study uses two methodologies, the first of which uses panel data to explain how variables that make up SDG9 explain competitiveness across countries in the Eurozone from 2010 to 2019. A second approach is through qualitative methodology (fsQCA) to verify the differences in the possible combinations of variables for the same outcome – higher values of competitiveness.
