Abstract: This chapter explores the intersection of digital transformation and sustainability, emphasizing their economic implications. It examines how digital technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), serve as enablers of sustainability by enhancing resource efficiency, transparency, and sustainable business practices. Theoretical frameworks, including Dynamic Capabilities and Socio-Technical Change, underpin the analysis, complemented by two case studies: blockchain platforms in sustainable economies and digital transformation's impact on firms' sustainable practices in Europe. The chapter also highlights frugal innovation as a resource-efficient solution to achieve sustainable digital transformation, offering actionable insights for fostering environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
