Abstract: Digital entrepreneurship and social innovation are increasingly intertwined forces driving transformative solutions to global challenges through technology-enabled ventures. This comparative global study examines how digital entrepreneurship fosters social innovation across diverse regions, highlighting the influence of varying technological infrastructures, regulatory environments, cultural contexts, and economic conditions. By analyzing key enablers and barriers—including digital access, funding ecosystems, policy frameworks, and societal attitudes—this article reveals both common patterns and region-specific dynamics shaping digital social ventures. Through illustrative case studies, the research demonstrates how converging digital tools and social missions enable scalable, impactful business models in healthcare, education, finance, and sustainability. The findings underscore the critical roles of cross-sector collaboration, adaptable strategies, and supportive ecosystems in maximizing social impact while achieving economic viability. This study offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and academics aiming to harness digital entrepreneurship as a catalyst for inclusive, sustainable social innovation worldwide.
