Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate whether advances in Algeria's fixed broadband infrastructure from 2004 to 2020 influenced progress in the country's business startup climate over the same period. The research goals are to empirically assess if greater information and communication technology adoption facilitated entrepreneurship growth. It is expected that increasing broadband access had a statistically significant positive impact. By highlighting the enabling potential of ICT investment for economic diversification, this study provides an evidence-based model for comparable emerging economies seeking to improve startup rates through a more supportive entrepreneurship environment.
