The assessment will map the current strengths and weaknesses that characterize the national digital economy ecosystem, as well as identify challenges and opportunities for future growth. Rapid digital transformation is now re-shaping the global economy, permeating virtually every sector and aspect of daily life - changing the way one learns, work, trade, socialize, access public and private services and information. Well-functioning digital economies are thus expected to achieve faster economic growth, offer innovative products and services, as well as create more job opportunities. Assessing where strategic investments and interventions need to be made is a critical first step to enabling digital economy growth. This background paper will provide an overview of digital entrepreneurship in South Africa. 2020-04-22T18:37:09Z 2020-04-22T18:37:09Z 2018 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/699031586325347439/South-Africa-Digital-Economy-Assessment-Digital-Entrepreneurship-Pillar http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33632 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: PSD, Privatization, and Industrial Policy Africa South Africa
