Exploring Entrepreneurship on the World Economic Forum Website

Entrepreneurship stands as a pivotal force driving economic value, whether through budding startups or within established companies, revitalizing industries. Entrepreneurs, by seizing opportunities and marshaling resources, fuel creative destruction, shaping and birthing industries. They act as market arbiters, realigning competition.

Critical entrepreneurial skills—pitching ideas, inspiring leadership, and operational prowess—are crucially needed on a wider scale. Practical learning tools like internships and business competitions play a key role.

Equally essential is nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset. It's about seeing opportunities amid challenges, embracing risk and failure, and questioning norms. Without this mindset, the status quo persists. Educational systems and corporate cultures must foster such mindsets.

This briefing draws insights from the World Economic Forum's Expert Network and collaborates with Professor Wong Poh-Kam, Director of the Entrepreneurship Center at the National University of Singapore.

Corporate giants, despite their market clout, often lose out to nimble startups due to sluggish innovation. Their reluctance to adopt risky innovations and the flight of talent to entrepreneurial ventures or fast-growing startups contribute to this. To counter, many corporations are reshaping their structures and models to incorporate startup agility. Intrapreneurship models—innovation labs, hackathons, accelerators—emerge to foster internal innovation.
