The results indicate that Digital Infrastructure has a positive and significant effect on Digital Startup Growth, while Digital Economy Regulations also positively and significantly influence startup growth. Technology Literacy demonstrates the strongest positive and significant effect, highlighting the critical role of digital competencies in supporting innovation and adaptability. Simultaneously, Digital Infrastructure, Digital Economy Regulations, and Technology Literacy significantly influence Digital Startup Growth, explaining 57.3% of the variance in startup growth.
