ABSTRACT
This analysis aims to determine how the influence of the use of digipreneur and
sociopreneurship on the entrepreneurial interest of vocational students. Especially with
the condition of economic digitization which has become an icon of the factory revolution
4.0 at this time, it is a "threat" for business operators who always insist on implementing
and managing their business in conventional ways. Digipreneurs have had a tremendous
impact on the current entrepreneurial development. This has resulted in the creation of
new technology-based entrepreneurs in developing their business innovations. No less
than among young people equivalent to vocational high school students. It is different
with sociopreneur whose development is an effort to improve the welfare of the people
in the surrounding environment so that they can solve social problems with a business
approach. Perfect and planned and prolonged social entrepreneurship can be tried
through learning activities that lead to the development of sociopreneurs from vocational
high school students. As the younger generation, they are agents of change who can share
socio-economic changes by providing the latest opportunities for the community.
Keywords: Digipreneur, Interest in Entrepreneurship, Sociopreneurship

In this global era, business, technology, and information are always changing
rapidly. Indonesia's creative industry currently allows the development of a
digital-based business world. The road is wide open for digipreneurs in
developing their business. All circles of society are competing to try their luck in
