Abstract: The deep integration of digital technologies has given rise to the development of new industries and models in various sectors, as well as new opportunities and challenges. Whether digital transformation can drive collaborative green innovation in the supply chain has also become an important topic of great interest, which has not yet been resolved. In this paper, we study the impact of digital enablement on collaborative green innovation in supply chain enterprises in order to assist in reasonable strategic decision making. An evolutionary game model is constructed for both upstream and downstream supply chain companies under digital enablement, following which the model is solved and systematically simulated. Our main findings are as follows: The influencing factors of collaborative green innovation in the supply chain can be divided into driving factors, blocking factors, and regulating factors. After digital enablement, the effect of the drivers of collaborative green innovation is more obvious, the side-effects of the deterrents are weakened, and the threshold of the positive effect of the moderators is expanded. Overall, digital enablement helps to promote collaborative green innovation in the supply chain, and companies should apply digital technology to enable collaborative green innovation.
