Keywords:
Digital Entrepreneurship, Digital Innovation, Sustainable Economic Development, Digital Economy, Entrepreneurial EcosystemAbstract
The expansion of digital technologies has reshaped economic systems and created new opportunities for entrepreneurial activity. Digital entrepreneurship represents a form of business development that relies on digital platforms, data-driven innovation, and technological integration to create value. This study examines the role of digital entrepreneurship and innovation in supporting sustainable economic development in the digital economy era. A qualitative descriptive approach based on literature analysis was employed to explore relationships between digital innovation, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and economic sustainability. The findings indicate that digital entrepreneurship expands market access, improves business efficiency, and stimulates job creation through technology-based enterprises. Digital innovation also supports sustainable development by encouraging resource efficiency and inclusive participation in economic activities. Several structural constraints remain evident, including digital infrastructure gaps, limited digital skills, and regulatory complexity. Strengthening digital literacy, improving technological infrastructure, and supporting collaborative innovation ecosystems are essential to enhance the contribution of digital entrepreneurship to sustainable economic development. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning digital transformation with long-term economic sustainability strategies in the evolving digital economy.
