Digital Entrepreneurship Education in Emerging Countries: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is one of the economic engines in a country especially in emerging countries. Indonesia is an emerging country that encourages the creation of entrepreneurship processes in various fields. Entrepreneurship education is one of the knowledge transfer processes in creating entrepreneurs. The digital transformation in entrepreneurship education is a new approach and an important challenge in education to prepare students in the face of technological change. Digitalization should be used in all sectors of education and training, as technological skills are essential to global relations. Currently, building a technology-based entrepreneurship education curriculum is critical, whereby the digitalization process can expand student partnerships and networks with their peers across countries, entrepreneurial educators, and the business communities. In particular, students will use digital tools to learn entrepreneurial skills such as business feasibility and market research as well as designing their own business plans. This chapter provides useful information on entrepreneurship education by focusing on technological developments in Indonesia. This chapter will also explore more deeply about the current state of entrepreneurship education, opportunities and challenges. This chapter concludes with suggestions for the further development of digital entrepreneurship education in the future.
