The Future of Industrialization: Rethinking Economic Development, edited by Gerd Müller and published by Anthem Press in 2026, brings together policymakers, academics, international organizations, business leaders, and experts around UNIDO’s Vision 2050. Its key message is that the old industrialization model is no longer sustainable and must be replaced by a green, fair, inclusive, resilient, digitally enabled model. What the book offers most is an integrated policy agenda: reform global governance and finance; modernize agro-industry; build sustainable supply chains with local value addition; accelerate clean energy and industrial decarbonization; and govern digitalization and AI for inclusive development, backed by implementation.
