Digital entrepreneurial ecosystem: evidence from Norwegian digital platform economy index

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of digital platforms in the development of the Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (DEE). In particular, it discusses the challenges of proposing specific policies to overcome imbalances in DEEs. Norway, and its two neighboring Nordic countries, Sweden and Finland, will be investigated. Using the Digital Platform Economy Index framework and empirical measurement, the study evaluates the state of DEEs in these countries, identifies key weaknesses that act as barriers and recommends policy recommendations to promote the growth of DEEs. Based on the study's findings, the study shows that similar constraints may disrupt the balance in Digital Technology Entrepreneurship (DTE) in each country. To address these constraints and promote overall DEE growth, the study recommends tailored policies with a holistic approach. Research like this could inspire future studies focusing on Digital Technology Entrepreneurship and its impact on European digital economic development.
