Technopreneurship Development: Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Analysis in Tasikmalaya

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is currently an interesting topic in academic
discussions because it is considered a solution for a country's
economic development. However, the entrepreneurship ratio
in Indonesia is currently still very low, reaching 3.47% of the
total population of Indonesia. This figure is still lower than
neighboring countriessuch as Singapore 8.76%, Thailand 4.26%
and Malaysia with 4.74%. One area of entrepreneurship that is
expected to encourage the business ecosystem in Indonesia is
the field of technology entrepreneurship. Technopreneurship
itself refers to entrepreneurial practices that focus on the
development and application of innovative technology. It
involves the process of creating, developing, and marketing
technology-based products or services. Currently, the concrete
step that is most likely to be taken is entrepreneurship. For this
reason, a business development model is needed that is
adapted to the needs of the technology entrepreneurship
ecosystem in Tasikmalaya.
