Abstract
How can businessmen and potential entrepreneurs overcome adversity and start enterprises in challenging situations? Until recently, little was understood about what motivates entrepreneurs during difficult times. Therefore, within the innovation system, digital entrepreneurship is an important determinant.

Digital technologies, by bringing inevitable changes to the innovation system, may not only present greater business opportunities but may also be disruptive and create new vulnerabilities.
