Yuhao Gu
Abstract
In the high-quality development phase characterized by the in-depth integration of digital industrialization and industrial greening, the synergistic empowerment of digital economy and green economy has emerged as the core impetus reshaping industrial ecosystems. As micro-entities in the market economy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are not only participants in this synergistic development but also direct beneficiaries. Based on the synergy mechanism between digital economy and green economy, this paper systematically analyzes the development opportunities confronting SMEs in aspects of factor allocation, market expansion, technological innovation, and policy dividends. By addressing the practical pain points and challenges in SMEs' transformation, it proposes actionable development pathways from four dimensions: digital transformation empowerment, green technology breakthroughs, collaborative ecosystem construction, and precise policy alignment. This study aims to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for SMEs to achieve sustainable development under the "dual synergy" framework.
