  • Abstract:
  • With the expanding globalization of financial markets and the proliferation of innovative financial instruments, research interest in financial technology (fintech), financial innovation, and entrepreneurial activity has surged in recent literature. This heightened attention is underscored by significant global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, which have reshaped supply chain dynamics and intensified the relevance of these phenomena. Despite this growing interest, a comprehensive bibliographic overview of the evolution and direction of this field remains absent in scholarly publications. Scholars have increasingly proposed leveraging fintech and innovative financial models to advance entrepreneurial ventures and contribute to sustainable economic development. This study aims to elucidate the pivotal role of fintech and financial innovation in fostering entrepreneurial activity and supporting sustainable economic growth. Drawing upon data from academic databases such as Scopus, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) methodology. Utilizing VOS viewer software, we performed citation and co-occurrence analyses to identify prominent authors, nations, journals, keyword and documents in the field. The bibliographic mapping facilitated a nuanced understanding of current research themes and trends, enabling the visual representation of thematic maps to propose innovative research directions and strategic implications for fostering entrepreneurial endeavors in the context of fintech and financial innovation. Citation analysis focused on identifying leading authors, countries, journals, and highly cited documents, while bibliographic mapping facilitated the visualization of prevailing research themes. The findings reveal that fintech and financial innovation have gained prominence amid economic disruptions, with research attention shifting towards both developed and developing economies. Notably, emerging research themes emphasize the intersection of fintech with entrepreneurship and digital innovations. This study represents a pioneering effort in presenting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of fintech, financial innovation, and entrepreneurship literature, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners alike.
