内容简介：

The circular economy (CE) has garnered global attention in industrial, governmental, and academic circles. Concurrently, technological advancements, particularly in Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, have spurred interest in digitalization and integration throughout business and society. Among the most intriguing emerging digital technologies are those fostering multiple-stakeholder collaboration, such as Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). My discussion will be at the intersection of these innovations—CE as a socio-ecological innovation and multi-stakeholder technological innovation. This presentation will explore findings concerning supply chains, sustainability, resilience, and competitive advantage within the CE-technology context. Furthermore, I will identify potential pathways for further scholarly inquiry, emphasizing theoretical integration and linkages. I also look forward to a dialogue on the feasibility and practicality of the insights and future directions.
