Abstract
This research explores the implementation of digital entrepreneurial ecosystems within higher education institutions in Indonesia, focusing on identifying key policies, actors, and influencing factors. Through a qualitative analysis, we examine secondary data from literature reviews and official documentation to assess the contributions of government policies, financial institutions, and universities to the development of digital entrepreneurship. The findings reveal that policies such as entrepreneurship training, mentoring, and innovation competitions significantly foster entrepreneurial skills among students. Key actors in this ecosystem include the government, financial institutions, and academic institutions, each contributing to the ecosystem^s infrastructure, financial support, human capital, and market access. The study highlights the interconnectedness of these elements in shaping a thriving digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, emphasizing the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration to enhance entrepreneurial outcomes. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the digital entrepreneurial landscape in Indonesian universities and suggests policy improvements to strengthen the ecosystem^s growth and sustainability.
