Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the interplay between international entrepreneurship, digitalisation, new technologies, and intercultural dynamics in the context of globalisation and technological advancements. Through a systematic literature review, we synthesise the evolving landscape of international entrepreneurship research, focusing on the integration of digitalisation, Industry 4.0, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. Our findings highlight the growing scientific interest in leveraging new technologies and digitalisation to overcome traditional and cultural barriers in international entrepreneurship, thereby facilitating the emergence of innovative business models. Key insights reveal that while new technologies act as catalysts for reducing intercultural barriers and reshaping business models, they also introduce regulatory and privacy concerns. This study contributes to the international entrepreneurship literature by offering an updated perspective on the role of technology and digitalisation in international entrepreneurship, emphasising the need for new competencies to navigate the complexities of a technologically interconnected global market. By bridging existing gaps, this research opens new avenues for future exploration, particularly regarding the impact of digital transformation on international business strategies. The findings have significant implications for academics and practitioners aiming to understand and leverage the opportunities presented by the intersection of international entrepreneurship, technology, digitalisation, and intercultural dynamics.
