Success depends on adaptive local policies and multi-stakeholder collaboration, with digital technologies like Industry 4.0 playing a key role. Research gaps include limited long-term data and contextual studies, indicating a need for future multidisciplinary research. The findings support CE as a vital strategy for sustainable economic recovery and resilience.]]>
