The entrepreneurship ecosystem has begun to play a dynamic role in the society, becoming a national asset, and entrepreneurs becoming the drivers who cultivate, motivate, and remunerate the maximum potential of this asset. With the COVID-19 pandemic triggering major economic downturns, stirring high unemployment rates, it also on the other hand led to a collective push into digital transformation, especially for surviving businesses. “COVID-preneurs” propelled towards becoming their own bosses at a record pace. Being self-employed, Digital entrepreneurs operate via digital platforms, relying on Information Technology (IT) and digital media tools to identify potential consumers. Digital businesses could include e-commerce, Industry consulting, online courses, social media and content marketing, Drop-shipping, online retailing, Virtual assistants, and many more digital spaces that offer a range of products and services. The UAE ranks fourth globally in the Global Entrepreneurship Index 2020 and currently relishes a world-class environment that supports and regulates the entrepreneurship culture, with an integrated system to incubate entrepreneurial projects and accelerate their growth.
