The year 2026 is shaping up to be a defining one for entrepreneurship. Technology, funding and consumer expectations are just a few of the tectonic plates shifting, and how entrepreneurs respond to these shifts can mean the difference between success and failure.
Trends such as artificial intelligence, sustainability and new work models will profoundly affect entrepreneurs by driving innovation and enabling new business models while presenting new challenges.
The Forum will host a showcase on Athleticacompare by Australia’s Lucas Li, an online event experience where visitors land on a branded homepage featuring popular sports equipment. Users scroll or search to find specific items, then open product pages with interactive 3D visuals. Each page provides materials, specifications and performance details. Participants can check ratings, read reviews and share comments, transforming the platform into a collaborative hub that blends entrepreneurial insight, sports innovation and user‑driven feedback.
