#Growth, #Innovation, #Sustainability, #Trends

Traditional businesses are increasingly focusing on building new, independent enterprises from the ground up, moving away from the typical mergers and acquisitions model. About 55% of business leaders see this as a top priority, with 74% who adopt this strategy outperforming their industry counterparts.

Despite the promise, only 20% of these new ventures scale successfully.

Given the current disruptions and fast-paced digitization, this trend underscores the urgent need for innovation, potentially ushering in an era of sustainable and inclusive growth.
