Abstract This study investigates the role of digital innovation in promoting sustainable economic development in developing countries. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and selected case studies from India, Kenya, Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, the research examines the relationship between digital innovation and the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. The findings show that technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, and blockchain improve productivity, reduce resource waste, and expand financial inclusion through digital payment systems. They also enhance access to education and healthcare, particularly in underserved areas. The study concludes that successful digital transformation depends on strong digital infrastructure and supportive policy frameworks. It recommends greater investment in technology infrastructure, digital skills development, and public–private partnerships to support sustainable growth.
