Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a competence that goes beyond the creation of a company. If we focus on the digital world, what is known as digital entrepreneurship competence emerges. Its development at university level is essential in a changing world. Based on this competence, the EmDigital model arises, which develops it in a total of 4 dimensions and 15 sub-competences. The aim of this study was to analyse this competence on the basis of this model in final year undergraduate students at public universities in the Region of Murcia and to see the difference in terms of gender. A total of 1108 students participated in the study, 64.17% of whom were female, and all branches of knowledge were represented. The results show that men scored higher in the dimension Identification of opportunities, while women scored higher in the dimension Action planning. The results are discussed and the need for specific training for the development of this competence is recommended, as well as further research on how to reduce the gender gap in digital entrepreneurship.
