Summary/Abstract: The digital and green transformation, which is developing on global level at different speeds in the first half of 21st century, puts pressure on the Bulgarian port operators to change their innovation policies. This process is also influencing the competitiveness of ports in the context of the Bulgarian economy, which is still catching up with the average EU levels of GDP per capita, which are not members of the Eurozone. The purpose of the present study is to discuss the issue if the digital and green transformation, which is developing both on European and global level, is an accelerator or a limiter of the competitiveness of ports in countries with transition economies.
