Economic Ecosystems, Innovation, and Digitalization for Sustainable Economic Growth

Abstract

Economic growth in the modern era is increasingly influenced by the ability of economic actors to collaborate within interconnected ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the role of economic ecosystems in supporting economic growth by integrating innovation, entrepreneurship, and digitalization. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review. Data were collected from relevant scientific articles and academic publications published over the last five years. The analysis was conducted through the identification, classification, and synthesis of literature to examine the relationships among economic ecosystems, innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation. The findings indicate that economic ecosystems play a significant role in creating an environment that supports knowledge exchange, collaboration, and effective resource utilization. Innovation and entrepreneurship are identified as key drivers of economic value creation, while digitalization serves as a connecting mechanism that strengthens interactions among economic actors. The integration of these elements contributes to the development of a more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth model. This study provides a conceptual contribution by enhancing the understanding of ecosystem-based approaches to economic development in the digital era.
