Using a qualitative approach through literature reviews and reflections on community service practices, the study identifies key challenges such as digital infrastructure gaps, limited access to education, and cultural barriers. At the same time, it highlights the untapped local potentials that can be harnessed through digital empowerment. The discussion emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration involving academics, government institutions, and local communities to realize inclusive digital transformation. Findings suggest that integrating technological skills with local knowledge systems not only supports digital inclusion but also stimulates innovation tailored to local needs. In conclusion, the synergy between digital literacy and social innovation emerges as a sustainable strategy to accelerate rural self-sufficiency in the age of Society 5.0, offering a human-centered approach to technological advancement.
