OEN December PubTalk: A Look Forward

 

As the startup world swiftly evolves, it’s crucial for founders, investors, and enthusiasts to stay ahead of the curve. With new technologies, changing market demands, and the global economy, what type of opportunities and challenges await entrepreneurs in 2025?

The expansion of generative AI and custom machine learning, the digitization of business processes, and a focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and customer-centric businesses are shaping the current business landscape. Additionally, remote and hybrid work, the growth of the gig economy, and emerging sectors are creating new innovation opportunities. Entrepreneurs who adapt to these changes will be well-prepared to navigate the evolving landscape and seize new opportunities in the years to come.

On Wednesday, December 11th join Oregon Entrepreneurs Network and our partner Willamette University – MBA for a conversation about key trends that will shape entrepreneurship in 2025, and how companies can proactively adapt and innovate, and prepare for what is to come.
