New dataset released

On 1 June we have released a new SDI Classification and SDI Innovation Outlook dataset. The key enhancements alongside this new release were advancement of product categories by:

  • Introduction of more granular and specific product types for clean water and wastewater products and services
  • Inclusion of installed capacity data for mixed utilities
  • Small rule refinement with the introduction of two new product categories for “SDG 3: Good Health”:
    - “IVF and fertility clinics and services”, which are not eligible for SDI
    - “Non-prescription contraception”, which is eligible for SDI
