Absztrakt (kivonat)

This systematic literature review (SLR) investigates the impact of Digital Twins (DTs) on the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sus-tainability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs, making up about 90% of global businesses, face challenges in adopting sustainable prac-tices due to limited resources. DTs, as virtual representations of physical sys-tems, provide opportunities for SMEs to optimize processes and achieve sus-tainability goals. Using the PRISMA methodology, a structured search was conducted, targeting peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2024. The findings show that DTs enable cost reductions, improved resource effi-ciency, and enhanced working conditions. However, high initial costs and tech-nical complexity pose significant barriers for SMEs. The review also highlights gaps in long-term studies on ecological benefits and socio-economic impacts. The study concludes that while DTs offer considerable potential for advancing sustainability in SMEs, strategic implementation and support mechanisms are essential for overcoming existing challenges.JEL-codes: L25, L26, L60, M15, O33, Q56
