Abstract

This study investigates the influence of recent technological advancements and collaborative networks on the burgeoning landscape of digital entrepreneurship, particularly within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. For this purpose, the research design employs a mixed-method approach, which combines qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Semi-structured interviews with MENA-based entrepreneurs have provided in-depth insights into the dynamics of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, and the perceived impact of technology on their ventures. Subsequently, a quantitative survey has been administered to eighty respondents, and the data is analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling. The findings from both methodologies are expected to illuminate the positive influence of technological advancements and collaborative networks on digital entrepreneurship within the MENA region. Gaining an understanding of these factors can guide policymakers in fostering innovation in ecosystems and stockholder investments that support collaborative digital ventures in the MENA region.
