글로벌 it 데이터 주권․보안 규제․데이터 활용 정책이 창업 생태계에 미치는 영향

[Purpose] This study analyzes the impact of global IT policies on the startup ecosystem from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Focusing on the EU’s GDPR, the U.S. CLOUD Act, and Korea’s Data Three Acts, the study establishes three key analytical criteria: data sovereignty, security regulation, and data utilization policy. [Methodology] A one－way ANOVA and Duncan post－hoc test were performed, revealing significant differences in ICT industry proportions across countries. Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands formed the low group; Japan, Korea, Spain the medium group; and the United States, Switzerland, Austria the high group. [Findings] Correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between the Digital Readiness Index and startup rate, whereas the 5－ year survival rate demonstrated no statistical significance. Regression analysis confirmed that the Digital Readiness Index has a significant positive effect on startup rate, while exerting no meaningful influence on survival rate. [Implications] This study demonstrates that data regulation is not merely a cost factor; rather, it contributes to the formation of a startup ecosystem by providing market trust, regulatory certainty, and investment stability in the long term. IT policies reshape industrial foundations, which in turn lead to more coherent corporate strategies that ultimately translate into actual outcomes such as increased startup formation, investment, and scalability.
