According to the research findings, we proposed to accelerate the improvement of digital infrastructure, strengthen the integration and development of digital technology transformation and green technology innovation system, and to optimize enterprise business processes so as to give full play to the important role of digital transformation in green technology innovation of enterprises of heavy pollution, to promote the green development of enterprises of heavy pollution, and to help achieve the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" goals.
