This phenomenon illustrates that Generation Z has high adaptability to technological developments and the courage to innovate in the digital era. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. The research results show that the success of the young entrepreneur is supported by the utilization of digital marketing strategies, creativity in product branding, and the ability to read market trends quickly. This finding reinforces the view that Generation Z has great potential as a driver of the national digital economy in the future Keywords: Generation Z, Digital Economy, Young Entrepreneur, Hard Selling, E-Commerce
