ABSTRACT
Worldwide entrepreneurship has been disrupted by technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data. Little research has been conducted concerning the impact of these technologies on entrepreneurial activities. The present study investigates the relationships among factors such as ICT, R&DR, D, business, financial risks, economic growth, and digital entrepreneurship. This study applied econometric models using a panel data set from 2004 to 2025 to examine causal relationships. According to the findings, in OECD countries, digital entrepreneurship is positively influenced by economic growth, greater internet penetration, R&D activities, and the presence of businesses. R&D researchers drive innovation, enabling digital companies to expand. On the other hand, digital entrepreneurship is negatively influenced by ICT & financial risk, ICT export, and Govt. spending on R&D. The study provides both theoretical and practical knowledge, and its implications concern the policy-making process, start-up ecosystems, and innovation-driven economic development.
