With the collision between the green and low-carbon economy and the accelerating digital economy, how to realize the effect of "1+1>2" has gradually become an important topic for contributing to the high-quality development of regions and enterprises. Entrepreneurship in the digital age continues to exhibit new characteristics, and its impact on green development is also more closely related. This article focuses on the context of the low-carbon strategy, incorporating the digitalization level, entrepreneurship, and green development into the same framework. It then takes 2011-2021 Chinese provincial panel data and enterprise panel data as samples to conduct research. The results indicate the following: (1) The digitalization level has a significant positive promoting effect on the green development of regions and enterprises, and blockchain technology has the strongest promoting effect on the green development of enterprises. (2) The digitalization level drives the green development of regions and enterprises through three channels: entrepreneurs' innovative spirit, entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurs' contract spirit. Entrepreneurship is the intermediary bridge for the digitalization level to promote green development. (3) Environmental regulations partially serve as "accelerators" of the impact of green development. The findings of this article will provide empirical support for evaluating the impact of digitalization on green development and offer useful insights for better stimulating and cultivating entrepreneurship in the new era to empower comprehensive green development.
随着绿色低碳经济与数字经济加速融合，如何实现“1+1＞2”的效果，逐渐成为助力区域和企业高质量发展的重要课题。数字时代的创业不断展现出新特征，其对绿色发展的影响也更为紧密。本文聚焦低碳战略背景，将数字化水平、创业活动和绿色发展纳入同一分析框架，采用 2011—2021 年中国省级面板数据和企业面板数据进行实证检验。结果表明：（1）数字化水平对地区和企业绿色发展具有显著正向促进作用，其中区块链技术对企业绿色发展的促进作用最强。（2）数字化水平通过企业家创新精神、企业家创业精神和企业家契约精神三条渠道驱动地区和企业绿色发展，创业活动是数字化水平促进绿色发展的中介桥梁。（3）环境规制在一定程度上充当了绿色发展的“助推器”。本文的研究结论为评估数字化对绿色发展的影响提供了经验支持，为更好地激发和培育新时代创业活力、赋能全面绿色发展提供了有益启示。
