Abstract

The current economic landscape necessitates sustained and robust growth to ensure prosperity and stability. In an interconnected global economy, nations must implement measures to counter downturns and stimulate economic expansion. Central to this effort is the continuous circulation of goods and services through sales and purchases, which sustains economic momentum and mitigates stagnation. Individuals and entities with a deep understanding of entrepreneurship’s opportunities and challenges are best positioned to navigate market barriers effectively. Entrepreneurship thrives on innovation, adaptability, and market awareness, enabling entrepreneurs to identify emerging trends, capitalize on opportunities, and address societal needs. By fostering innovation and job creation, entrepreneurship drives economic diversification, particularly in sectors like agriculture and industry. Emerging economies, in particular, benefit from entrepreneurial activity, unlocking youth potential and stimulating sustainable economic growth. Some of the world's fastest-growing economies prioritize youth empowerment and entrepreneurship to attract investment and generate employment. This study examines the opportunities and challenges faced by emerging entrepreneurs in today’s economic landscape. Key opportunities include economic restructuring, leveraging retired employees' expertise, breaking through glass ceilings, government initiatives, technological advancements, and immigrant talent integration. Conversely, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, access to funding, market competition, and skill gaps hinder entrepreneurial success. The study employs qualitative data collection through interviews with representative and non-representative respondents to gain diverse insights into the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Additionally, it provides practical guidance on launching consumer-oriented businesses to overcome economic recessions, equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with strategies to navigate challenges and seize market opportunities.
