Background (Specific): Innovative entrepreneurship depends heavily on the availability and efficiency of direct and indirect financial mechanisms such as loans, grants, venture capital, and tax incentives. Knowledge Gap: Despite various financial instruments being established, little is known about how these mechanisms interact, overlap, and collectively influence innovation outcomes across different regions and sectors. Aim: This study examines the mechanisms and challenges of financial support for innovation-driven entrepreneurship, with the goal of developing a holistic understanding of their roles and effectiveness in the digital economy. Results: Findings indicate that while financial instruments drive innovation, their impact is constrained by limited accessibility, administrative complexity, and geographical disparities. Novelty: The research integrates multiple financial support mechanisms into a unified framework, highlighting how their interdependencies shape innovation outcomes. Implications: The study provides policy-oriented recommendations to enhance the inclusivity, efficiency, and regional balance of financial support systems, thereby strengthening innovation ecosystems and the sustainability of innovative enterprises.Highlight : The study emphasizes the role of direct and indirect financial support in fostering innovative entrepreneurship within the digital economy.
