The current turbulent environment requires an investigation into ways of adopting the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as a pertinent mechanism for accelerating sustainable development goals. The need to formulate a conceptual framework and adapt it to the South African context, requires careful mapping of the elements of 4IR, the relevant infrastructure and resources There has been perceptions instigating resistance towards the SDGs, hence the need to develop the conceptual framework. The exploratory research method fitted well as its nature a systematic review to effect and respond to the abovementioned investigation. The study reviewed about 70 articles of which 53 of those were peerreviewed articles within 4th industrial revolution in South Africa as set for ecosystem. Due to limited research on the topic, possible impacting variables that added immeasurable value were explored as contributing factors the study. Both reviewed literature and government archive on 4th industrial revolution revealed how the ecosystems of 4IR accelerated the achievement of SDGs in South Africa. The study further singled smart factories, smart cities, integrated systems, green technologies, cybernetics, the internet of people, the internet of energy, and the internet of things as contributing factors towards 4IR. The recommended the applicability of the ecosystems onto the South African context to advance innovation agenda to achieve green energy, sustainable water provision, waste management, trade in low-carbon products, cleaner and greener technologies, green buildings, green chemistry and sustainable transport, as well as improved air quality.
