Abstract

In order to monitor continuous innovations and technological progress, a conceptual framework of an advanced research study of female digital entrepreneurship both in the Republic of Serbia and in the neighboring countries is proposed in the paper. Through the integration of the two well-established concepts, digital entrepreneurial competences and the female entrepreneurial ecosystem, the goal is to create a framework for a female digital entrepreneurial ecosystem which will consist of the four components: female entrepreneurs, digital entrepreneurship, digital entrepreneurial competences and support for the empowerment of women. Within the framework of the paper, each of the four set concepts is processed, a theoretical framework is provided, and proposals for a better understanding of female digital entrepreneurship is given in the end. To conclude, the paper provides a new agenda of the competences of female entrepreneurship in the consumer technology industry inclusive of the active participation of the local community, civil society and the media.
