| Abstract |
In order to increase competitiveness and productivity and create long-term competitive advantages for companies, nations and regions, governments and businesses have to invest in the nurture and deployment of intellectual capital and digital technologies at different levels. These strategic investments can boost sustainable economic growth, accelerate the green and digital transitions, reduce social inequalities, and create more inclusive societies. In the digital age, intellectual capital (human capital, relational capital and intellectual capital) is a key pillar for long-term competitiveness (Ordonez de Pablos, 2004; Peng and Tao, 2022; Prencipe et al., 2023; Shehzad et al., 2023; Yin et al., 2023; Zhao and Abeysekera, 2023; Zhao et al., 2014). |
