Abstract: Abstract Digital transition can influence the transformation of the economy and increase prosperity. Decision-makers have also recognized the potential of digital technologies, which is one of the reasons why it is reflected in an increasing number of different sectoral development strategies on different scales. The feasibility of digital transformation raises several questions from both a regional and a sectoral point of view, which have yet to be answered. The development of digital transformation offers many new challenges, opportunities, and solutions for different sectors and locations alike. Digital transformation can have significant environmental and socio-economic impacts all over the world. Social and economic systems may not be able to adapt dynamically and flexibly to rapid change, which may jeopardize the system’s stability and trigger new challenges for the different stakeholders. The interrelations between digitalization and sustainability may foster positive synergies also in planning and implementation. Considering all dimensions of sustainability in relation to digitalization, the low-impact developments can enable the practical implementation of effective transition toward sustainability and digitalization goals also during and after the pandemic.
