Entrepreneurship has long been considered to have a direct and strong impact on the economic growth of a country by creating employment opportunities and increasing gross national income (GNI). However, in this era of fast-paced technological changes, owners should be able to combine traditional and radical production methods by accepting digitalization in the form of joining web platforms and becoming accessible online, to increase profitability and at the same time, help the country's imminent development.
This paper is a basic study aiming to describe the mutually beneficial relationship between digital entrepreneurship and economic growth on the example of three world regions: West Europe, East Europe, and Southeast Asia. The findings of this study will reveal the undisputable economic growth situation resulting from digital entrepreneurship due to the access for and employment of a wider population. Moreover, this study is presented as a reliable source of information for every individual and researcher on the details of digitalization in businesses, especially in the three case areas.
