The Baltic region has earned global recognition as a pivotal center for digital innovation. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have gained reputation for their strides in digital governance, each implementing various initiatives to digitize government services, improve efficiency, and foster citizen engagement. The Digital Platform Economy index, a composite indicator that measures the global status of the digital ecosystem, evaluates both the digital and entrepreneurship ecosystems across 116 countries. This paper explores platform-based entrepreneurship in the Baltic states. It provides an overview of the digital entrepreneurship ecosystems in these countries and a comparative analysis of the Digital Platform Economy sub-indices. Additionally, an analysis of the different pillars of the Digital Platform Economy index was performed to identify specific bottleneck factors that are holding back these countries from further development. A set of tailor-made policy recommendations addressing these bottlenecks to improve their Digital Platform Economy overall score was proposed
