Abstract:
This study investigates the position of Estonia’s digital entrepreneurial ecosystem and provides policy suggestions to improve it based on the Digital Platform Economy Index 2020 developed by Szerb et al. (2022). Using DPE Index 2020 data, the Estonian digital entrepreneurial ecosystem is compared to Finland and Latvia using fundamental and pillar-based analysis. This article provides policy recommendations for the Estonian digital entrepreneurial ecosystem on three levels based on policy analysis and optimisation outcomes. Estonia was ranked 18th in the DPE Index 2020 with a higher DPE Index score than similarly developed countries, and its digital and entrepreneurial ecosystems are relatively balanced. Thus, Estonia is advised to maintain the balance between the digital and entrepreneurial ecosystems while preserving funding for DPE Index development to keep up with progress. Estonia should prioritise the pillars requiring the most improvement to enhance the efficiency of its DPE ecosystem.
