Digital transformation has been identified as a primary catalyst for sustainability and competitiveness in the textile industry. The implementation of strategic and efficient solutions, including automation of tasks, virtual reality, and big data, is driving these advancements. However, extant literature on the subject reveals significant gaps regarding the impact of digital transformation on business performance within the sector. The objective of this study is to examine research trends related to digital transformation in the textile sector, with a particular focus on how these technologies enhance company performance in terms of productivity, product quality, and customer satisfaction. A bibliometric analysis is conducted using the Web of Science and Scopus databases, following PRISMA guidelines. The analysis identifies the United States and the United Kingdom as leaders in this research area, and highlights sustainability and supply chain management as growing topics in academic literature. The study further identifies significant themes for the future research agenda, including the use of artificial intelligence in supply chain management, e-commerce in sales management, and the need to develop digital skills and ethical considerations for professionals in the sector. The findings demonstrate that the implementation of digital technologies and platforms has enhanced product quality and customer satisfaction, while facilitating market expansion. From a policy perspective, it is recommended that governments support innovation, digital skills development, and collaboration among stakeholders to foster sustainable growth in the textile sector.

The subject of sustainable entrepreneurship has been the focus of extensive research in recent years, due to the benefits it offers in terms of sustainable development at the national level. Nevertheless, a knowledge gap persists regarding the factors that influence university students’ intentions to engage in sustainable entrepreneurship, despite advancements in the assessment of values and moderating factors such as educational support and commitment to sustainability. The objective of this study is to examine the factors that shape the sustainable entrepreneurial intentions of university students in the city of Medellín, Colombia. To this end, an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is employed in a sample of 350 university students. The results are analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings substantiate the assertion that TPB factors exert a significant influence on students’ sustainable entrepreneurial intentions, particularly in relation to perceived control over behavior and social norms. Moreover, students tend to be more motivated by extrinsic rewards and demonstrate a greater inclination to consider both future and immediate consequences, as well as intrinsic rewards in relation to control. This study makes a significant contribution to the advancement of the theory on sustainable entrepreneurial intention in the Colombian context. It provides a theoretical model that can be replicated in other emerging regions, thus expanding knowledge on the factors that influence sustainable entrepreneurship at the university level.
