The widespread implementation of digital technologies is considered a key prerequisite for increasing the sustainable competitiveness of national economies. Information and communication technologies not only offer economic restructuring potential but also provide new opportunities for all citizens in access to various services, including high-quality education and medicine. Consequently, such advancements contribute substantively to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and foster inclusive growth. This study aims to undertake a comprehensive analysis of both theoretical and practical frameworks concerning the implementation of sustainable development and to evaluate the potential of leveraging digital technologies to advance sustainable competitiveness. This study examines the link between digital inclusion and its long-term impact on global economic development. Systematisation of the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable competitiveness is carried out in the context of the impact of digital technologies on market dynamics and the distribution of sustainable competitive advantages between countries. The potential of digital transformation within a sustainable development framework can trigger significant economic transformations aimed at improving living standards and strengthening international competitiveness. The study's forecasting of the impact of sustainable competitiveness on economic growth underscores the need for national economies to adopt appropriate strategies for inclusive growth.
