Abstract: Objective: To analyze the strategic dimensions of public policies for digital innovation and sustainable development in local governments, identifying the main institutional, technological, organizational, and participatory components that shape a local digital agenda. Methodology: A qualitative documentary review was conducted using content analysis as the main analytical technique. The main corpus consisted of 33 scientific and institutional documents selected according to thematic relevance, availability of verifiable information, and their relationship with the research topic. Additional conceptual sources and institutional documents were incorporated to support the interpretation of the findings. Results: Four strategic dimensions were identified: digital governance and regulatory frameworks; technological infrastructure and connectivity; development of digital capabilities and competencies; and citizen participation and transparency. The literature reviewed shows that sustainable digital transformation requires the articulation of institutional capacities, infrastructure, governance, innovation, and citizen participation. Furthermore, aligning digital strategies with the Sustainable Development Goals represents a relevant element for guiding territorial policies. Conclusions: Public policies for digital innovation can contribute to sustainable development in local governments when implemented through comprehensive strategies that incorporate sufficient institutional capacities, adequate infrastructure, participation mechanisms, and evaluation instruments. Strengthening coordination among levels of government, reducing digital divides, and developing indicators to assess the outcomes of digital transformation at the territorial level are recommended.
