What is the Digital Economy? The digital economy refers to the global network of economic activities, commercial transactions, and professional interactions facilitated by information and communications technologies (ICT). In essence, it encompasses all economic activities driven by digital technologies.
Why is the Digital Economy Important? The digital economy plays a crucial role as it presents opportunities for organizations and individuals to utilize technology to perform tasks more efficiently and quickly, often in novel ways not possible before. It empowers businesses and individuals to innovate, excel, and engage in activities that were previously unimaginable. Many entrepreneurs have capitalized on digital technologies to create new companies and business models that were previously non-existent, such as ride-sharing platforms like Uber, Bolt, and Lyft, and content-on-demand services like Netflix and Spotify.
