Introduction/Objectives: This Systematic Review (SR) explores digital ecosystems and their impact on strengthening productive chains. The objectives include analyzing the current state, characteristics, benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with implementing digital ecosystems. The study focuses on the present state and implications of these ecosystems for enhancing productive chains. Methodology: Conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this review includes 87 relevant articles on digital ecosystems sourced from Elsevier’s Scopus (56), ProQuest (21), SciELO (6), and Google Scholar (4). Results: There has been a notable increase in publications on this topic, with significant interest in original research articles and substantial contributions from the United States, Germany, and Russia in technological innovation. However, there is a significant gap in empirical research validating theoretical foundations. Digital ecosystems are emerging as key enablers of digital transformation and collaborative value generation, characterized by business cooperation, collaborative integration, automation, and innovation. Despite benefits such as increased efficiency and cost reduction, challenges include political barriers, limited connectivity, infrastructure issues, resistance to change, digital skills gaps, and high initial investment costs. Conclusions: The systematic review reveals a significant gap in research on digital ecosystems, highlighting a lack of empirical studies to validate existing theoretical foundations. This presents a clear opportunity for future research in this field. In analyzing the implementation of digital ecosystems in organizations, collaborative systems are emphasized as drivers of efficiency and cost reduction. Strategically addressing these challenges is essential for the successful implementation of digital ecosystems and maximizing their impact.
