Entrepreneurship plays an important role as a driving force in a country's economic development. University students, as prospective graduates, have great potential to develop into creative and independent young entrepreneurs. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors that influence the emergence of entrepreneurial intent among students. This study aims to examine the extent to which financial literacy influences entrepreneurial intent, as well as to investigate whether knowledge of technopreneurship can strengthen this relationship as a moderating variable. This study employs a quantitative approach with data analysis using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique with the assistance of WarpPLS software. The respondents in this study consisted of 81 students from the Economics Education Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, Surabaya State University, class of 2021. The results of the study indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on students' entrepreneurial intentions. In other words, the higher the level of financial literacy among students, the greater their desire to enter the world of entrepreneurship. However, technopreneurship knowledge does not play a moderating role in this relationship. This indicates that technopreneurship knowledge is largely conceptual and has not yet been applied in actual entrepreneurial activities.

This research explores the impact of digitalization on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA method. The data collection process began with the identification of relevant scientific articles using the keywords "digitalization," "MSMEs," and "digital transformation," through leading academic databases, such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and JSTOR. The initial search identified 278 articles, of which 35 met the predetermined inclusion criteria. A thorough analysis of these 35 articles revealed that digitalization plays a pivotal role in fostering innovation within the MSME sector, offering benefits such as enhanced operational efficiency, expanded market access, and strengthened social, economic, and environmental sustainability. However, the implementation of digitalization in MSMEs is encumbered by several challenges, including limited resources, uneven digital infrastructure, and cyber security threats. The study underscores the significance of the government's role in establishing regulatory frameworks, offering financial incentives, and fortifying infrastructure to facilitate the sustainable digital transformation of MSMEs. This research provides strategic insights for policymakers, practitioners, and academics, offering guidance on the successful adoption of digitalization in the MSME sector.
