Abstract: As a key path to promote the green transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing enterprises, digital-intelligence integration plays an important role in the development of digital China and a manufacturing power. Taking China's A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2007 to 2021 as the research object, this study comprehensively uses the text analysis method, the coupled coordination model, and the threshold effect model to empirically test the impact and mechanism of digital-intelligence integration on the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises. The results show that the integration of digital and intelligence has a significant enabling effect on the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises, and that this result still stands after a series of robustness tests. The integration of digital and intelligence empowers manufacturing enterprises with green transformation through green cognition and green innovation. The promotion effect of digital-intelligence integration on green transformation of enterprises is greater in the state-owned enterprises and the heavily polluting enterprises. The impact of digital-intelligence integration on the green transformation of enterprises presents a non-linear characteristic, with a threshold effect. Therefore, in order to fully leverage the empowering role of digital-intelligence integration in the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises, technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data should be used to improve enterprise management, strengthen corporate green awareness, promote corporate green innovation, and build a new model of digital-intelligence integration empowering green transformation. It is also required to leverage the demonstration effect of state-owned enterprises, continue to deeply implement the digital economy development strategy, actively promote the achievement of the“dual carbon”strategy goals, and promote the green transformation of enterprises with“digitalization and intelligence”as the core.

Key words: manufacturing enterprises, digital intelligence fusion, green transformation, threshold effect
