Examines the effects of digitalization and supply chain disruptions on eco-innovation, suggesting strategies for enhancing industrial sustainability.
Digital eco‐innovation (DEI) plays an increasingly important role in advancing sustainable industrial development by aligning technological progress with environmental objectives. This study examines how supply chain disruptions (SCD) and digitalization influence DEI in the Group of Seven (G7) economies over the period 1990–2022, with specific reference to Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). The analysis employs fixed effects, Feasible Generalized Least Squares, and Driscoll–Kraay estimators while controlling for foreign direct investment (FDI), final consumption expenditure, inflation, and income growth. The findings indicate that digitalization and economic growth consistently foster DEI, whereas SCD exert context‐dependent effects. Foreign investment and inflation provide supportive but secondary contributions. The results underscore that environmentally oriented technological innovation in advanced economies is shaped not only by structural stability but also by adaptive responses enabled by digital capabilities. Policy implications emphasize strengthening digital infrastructure and integrating DEI into industrial upgrading and infrastructure resilience strategies.
