Abstract

This study examines the relationship between green finance (GFN), financial development (FD), and technological import (IOT) in driving sustainable industrial transitions in European countries from 2003 to 2022. This study constructed a composite Industrial Resilience Index (IRI) and estimated four interrelated econometric models. Specifically, it examines how various factors influence IRI, industrial innovation (INV), renewable energy adoption (RE), and green finance (GFN) mobilization. This study employed the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) estimator to account for cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneous dynamics and validated the results using ARDL approach. Findings indicate that GFN and FD significantly enhance IR and INV, particularly when supported by digital infrastructure and favorable environmental policies. Additionally, IoT and mitigation technologies play a pivotal role in the RE transition. At the same time, macroeconomic stability and public expenditure catalyse GFN flows. The results confirm the relevance of Schumpeterian and endogenous growth theories, highlighting the co-evolution of institutions, innovation, and policy. The study concludes with tailored policy recommendations and provides a new empirical foundation for designing integrated financial-technical frameworks to achieve industrial sustainability in Europe.
