The modern digital economy is dynamic and requires entrepreneurs to rely on technology expertise in order to address complicated business problems. The division between the skill in programming and entrepreneurial problem solving has not been well researched however, particularly in developing nations. This essay examines the ways in which programming excellence enhances analytical reasoning, creativity and flexibility in entrepreneurs. The primary objective is to determine the relationship between programming skills and problem-solving skills and how entrepreneurial education affects this relationship. This study is based on qualitative research methods, as secondary data through peer-reviewed journals, books, and research studies are used. It synthesizes concepts in cognitive development, computational thinking and entrepreneurship education through a highly detailed literature review and thematic analysis. The results show that programmed thinking encourages a structured analysis of problems, logical thinking and ability to make decisions that are flexible and are essential in entrepreneurial innovation and opportunity identification. The paper proposes that some of the policies and entrepreneurship programs should be augmented with programming provisions so that they may produce entrepreneurs who can adjust to the dynamic market. It concludes that programming skills can be taught to students during their entrepreneurship training, and they can significantly contribute to improving problem-solving skills and cognitive flexibility.
