This study systematically examines the content and impact of digital government policies for supporting startups and entrepreneurs, addressing how these policies support and spur the growth of entrepreneurial organizations and innovations. Our analysis draws on one hand from published academic articles, topical reports, and on the other hand from case studies. Key findings indicate that digital government policies in this area constitute basic elements of wider policies that provide essential infrastructure, regulatory support, and financial incentives. For instance, Saudi Arabian startups raised $987 million in 2023, illustrating a robust investment climate facilitated by smart government policies. Similarly, Indian startups created over 269,000 jobs, highlighting the value of favorable policies. The study also analyzes the Greek government’s Startup Greece Action Plan and EquiFund, which offer tax relief, grants, and digital skills development. However, our analysis has revealed challenges, such as resistance to change, cost issues, and digital inequalities. This study emphasizes the need for capacity building, public-private partnerships, and significant infrastructure investments to address these challenges. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of these policies and the role of new technologies like AI and Blockchain in enhancing digital government strategies.
