In the current context, in which the use of digital tools occupies a large part of our lives, it becomes necessary for small and medium-sized enterprises to develop their digital skills in order to adapt and survive. In a world that becomes more and more digital, having digital skills should be in focus, therefore people should benefit from learning opportunities but also from a supportive environment in acquiring these skills. Related to this aspect, through this study, we propose two research questions and we develop the analysis into two directions. A qualitative one through which we intend to analyse how entrepreneurs can develop their digital skills in Romania: emphasizing how education within university studies covers the need for digital skills of potential entrepreneurs and also what other courses or training options exist for potential future entrepreneurs, or already established entrepreneurs which can help them in the formation of digital skills. The second part of the study is an empirical one that analyses the relationship between digital literacy of the entrepreneurs and their performance. In this part of the study, we aim to demonstrate empirically that when entrepreneurs have more developed digital skills, they will record an increased performance of their business. Our results can be of interest for education providers because they show the need to provide education adapted to the economic reality in which we live, and puts in the foreground the creation of digital skills for business, which can have positive effects on the business environment and the economy as a whole.
