| Abstract: | The digital world in the creative industry has provided new opportunities for entrepreneurs to utilize and exploit products and services in a more transparent and widespread manner. Products and services can grow exponentially and be offered to all users and communities throughout the world without time and space limitations. Creative SMEs, especially batik SMEs, are currently required to keep abreast of technological developments, especially digitalization. They must be able to take advantage of digital transformation in managing their business. One effort that can be made is through digital entrepreneurship training. It's just that they are still faced with several obstacles, including digital skills, digital knowledge, management commitment, and government support. Even though batik SMEs adhere to the basic principles of digital entrepreneurship, these four aspects are very important to improving the sustainable performance of SMEs. This research uses a qualitative approach using participants from batik SME owners and managers, the government, and customers of natural color batik SME in Ciwaringin Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. Validity and reliability were carried out using a triangulation approach with three parties (SMEs, government, and customers). In increasing the success of digital entrepreneurship, fundamental changes must be prioritized: digital knowledge, digital skills, management commitment, and government support. These four aspects will make a significant contribution to improving sustainable SME performance. Apart from that, batik SMEs must play an active role in participating in digital training and connect actively and proactively with people who do not understand digital.
