Abstract In recent years, the link between digitalization and sustainability has become an increasingly relevant topic, both in public debate and in scientific research. It has also risen up the political agenda, at least in some countries. As of February 2022, in the European Union the two overarching narratives were sustainability and digitalization, expressed in the Green Deal and Fit for the Digital Age legislative packages respectively. And while for many years the connections between the two narratives have only been discussed in niches, the debate is now gaining momentum (Kiron and Unruh 2018). The number of public and policy events on this nexus has also increased, including an international symposium hosted by Leuphana University of Luneburg, the Einstein Centre Digital Future and TU Berlin, and funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, in May 2021 entitled European approaches towards a Sustainable Digitalization(1). In this context, the term "twin transition" is increasingly used by high-level policymakers, includ-ing the commissioners and their president. And in 2021, two comprehensive reports were published that systematically explore a policy agenda for sustainable digitalization (D4S 2022, Muench et al. 2022).
