Abstract

In today's context, digital entrepreneurship is an important pillar of the economy, characterized by the integration of new technologies in the development of innovative, sustainable and flexible businesses. This type of entrepreneurship contributes to the transformation of business models, to the adaptation of professions in different fields, as well as to the redefinition of the skills in demand in the labor market. The main aim of the paper is to explore the topic of digital entrepreneurship, with a focus on identifying its implications for accounting and finance professions. In order to achieve the proposed goal, a bibliometric analysis was performed using the VOSviewer software based on 660 papers published between 2000-2024 and indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) database. The results obtained allowed the identification of five thematic clusters that highlight the high impact of digital entrepreneurship in the new economic era and, at the same time, outline the current status of the topic within the literature. The usefulness of the results is found among researchers as a starting point for future research, as well as among entrepreneurs who are interested in how digital entrepreneurship has developed, helping to identify gaps in the field that can be turned into future business opportunities.
