Abstract

This study examines the digital transformation of women entrepreneurs in Makassar City with a focus on analyzing opportunities and challenges from a gender perspective. Using a qualitative method with a literature study approach, this study analyzed data from various primary and secondary sources for the period 2019-2024. The results showed a significant increase in the adoption of digital technology among women entrepreneurs from 15% to 52%. The main challenges identified include limited access to capital, digital literacy gaps, and socio-cultural factors. The fashion and craft sectors dominate the digital women entrepreneur landscape (35%), followed by culinary (30%). This study identified four key factors for the success of digital transformation: digital skills, business networks, product innovation, and market access. Women entrepreneurs who successfully adopted digital technology recorded an average increase in income of 35%. This study provides strategic recommendations for the development of gender-responsive policies and empowerment programs to support the digital transformation of women entrepreneurs in Makassar.

Abstract

In recent decades, entrepreneurship has become one of the main pillars of economic development, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Makassar City, as one of the economic centers in Eastern Indonesia, has an important role in encouraging the growth of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. One of the efforts made by the government and various institutions is to develop a Business Incubator Program, which aims to accelerate the growth of entrepreneurs through educational support, training, and guidance. In Makassar District, Bara-Baraya Timur Village, the development of local entrepreneurs is getting more attention. Business incubators in this area offer programs to help local entrepreneurs develop business skills, increase access to capital, and open wider networks. Although business incubators have proven successful in various countries, their implementation in each region can certainly provide different results, depending on the characteristics of the economic and social environment. In Bara-Baraya Timur Village, there are several challenges faced by one of the local entrepreneurs interviewed by the researcher, such as lack of management skills, and increasingly tight competition. Therefore, the researcher decided to conduct further research on “The influence of business incubators on the entrepreneurial economy in Makassar City, Bara-Baraya Timur Village”.
