Sustainable Economic Technology Innovation: Strategy, Implementation, and Impact on Green Growth in Indonesia
Keywords:
Sustainable Economy; Technological Innovation; Green Economy; Circular Economy; Indonesia Triple Bottom LineAbstract
The transformation towards a sustainable economy has become a strategic necessity amidst the pressures of the climate crisis, environmental degradation, and social inequality. Technological innovation is seen as a key driver for balancing economic growth with environmental preservation and social inclusiveness. This article aims to map key technologies supporting a sustainable economy, analyze their implementation strategies in key sectors in Indonesia, and evaluate their impact on the economic- environmental-social dimension (triple bottom line). The research uses a qualitative- descriptive approach through a literature review and case analysis in the energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and MSME sectors. The results show that AI, IoT, big data, blockchain, renewable energy, and green fintech contribute significantly to increasing resource efficiency, reducing emissions, strengthening supply chain transparency, and expanding access to green business financing. Key challenges include infrastructure readiness, high initial costs, digital literacy, immature regulations, and unequal access to technology. This article recommends strengthening incentive policies, building a cross- actor innovation ecosystem, and increasing the capacity of digital-green human resources to accelerate green economic growth in Indonesia.
