DIAGNOSING THE MANAGEMENT OF DIGITAL CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION IN ALGERIA

Abstract

This research paper aimed to explore the revolution the world has witnessed in integrating digital technologies into circular economy models and their positive impact on promoting sustainable innovation, particularly in light of the Algerian government's efforts to expand the use of digital solutions in institutions, protect the environment, and achieve sustainable development. The study employed descriptive and analytical methodologies, utilizing data and statistics obtained from official websites and reports. Among its key findings, the study concluded that the transition to a circular economy cannot achieve tangible economic efficiency without relying on digital tools (such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence). Furthermore, the studied global models demonstrated that adopting digital circular solutions provides institutions with resilience against raw material price fluctuations and opens new international markets, which is essential for Algerian institutions to diversify their non-hydrocarbon exports. Finally, the study emphasized the need for the Ministry of Startups to direct its support towards projects that innovate technological solutions (platforms, smart recycling applications) to serve national strategies.
