Digital entrepreneurship has emerged as a vital driver of economic growth and resilience in developing economies. By leveraging digital technologies, entrepreneurs are able to overcome traditional market barriers, enhance productivity, and promote inclusive development. This study provides a cross-disciplinary analysis of digital entrepreneurship by integrating perspectives from economics, management, sociology, and information systems. Using secondary data, policy reports, and case-based evidence, the paper examines how digital ventures contribute to economic stability, employment generation, and innovation during periods of crisis. The findings highlight the importance of supportive regulatory frameworks, digital infrastructure, and human capital development in strengthening entrepreneurial ecosystems. The study concludes that digital entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in enhancing adaptive capacity and long-term economic resilience in developing nations.
