Innovation And Technological Entrepreneruship
Main Article Content
Abstract
Entrepreneurship is the process of creating, managing, and developing a new business venture in order to achieve success in the marketplace. Technological innovation plays a critical role in entrepreneurship, as it provides opportunities for entrepreneurs to create new products and services, and to improve their business operations. In this article, we will explore the role of technological innovation in entrepreneurship, and how it has revolutionized the way we do business. Technological innovation is the process of creating new and improved technologies that can be used to solve problems, improve efficiency, and provide new opportunities for businesses. It is an ongoing process that involves research and development, testing, and commercialization of new technologies. In the last two decades, technology entrepreneurship, involving two established but related fields, entrepreneurship, and technology-based innovation, attracted researchers and policymakers’ interest due to the recognized positive effect on economic development. Considering technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship as the main forces to achieve sustainable development at different levels of the economy and society, it is vital to assess and develop the ability to synergetic create these forces.
