Abstract
Digital entrepreneurship education is a growing need as more digital competencies are required to innovate. This paper first introduces a novel construct, Digital Learning Aptitude, as individual aptitudes that drive cognition and metacognition in entrepreneurial learning, with focus on Digital Literacy. Then, we discuss the crucial role of Digital Literacy in the success of digital entrepreneurship. A conceptual model that describes the relationship between Digital Learning Aptitude, Digital Literacy, and Digital Entrepreneurial Mindset is presented next. This model provides a theoretical foundation for future studies and practical guidelines for identifying, training, and evaluating entrepreneurial talents in the digital economy.
