The report on the future of work from the World Economic Forum highlights that 2023 will be a good year for specialized entrepreneurs, since four out of ten companies intend to outsource their projects for specialized work. The concept of solopreneur emerges with force , which are entrepreneurs who prioritize their quality of life, growth and undertake alone, without employees or ties. Keep reading our trends for entrepreneurs in 2022!
What are the main sectors to start a startup in 2023
With the changes to which we are subjected and the speed at which technology advances, it is not difficult to foresee that the main innovations that will emerge will come from the entrepreneurial world. In this sense, we are going to see how entrepreneurs and their startups do not surprise in 2023 with innovations in areas as transcendent as the following:
Future of energy and renewable energy
future of mobility
Applied Artificial Intelligence
Sustainable Consumption and Food: foodtech
golden economy

Trends for entrepreneurs and startups in 20 23
Digital Health: Telecare and prevention
Artificial intelligence and “wearebles†will help us take care of our bodies in a very different way than we know. If we take care of ourselves and check our vehicles regularly and frequently, why don't we do it with our bodies? And we die for imbeciles.
Well, this will no longer happen, we will be able to monitor our body in real time, anticipate any dysfunction, prevent and tackle many of the most feared diseases and lead a healthier and more orderly life.
Apple has already taken the lead because it has a lot of data on our health and soon we will see movements in this regard, but today we already have health rings, health watches, devices to control blood sugar, systems to analyze our urine and much more.
With regard to telemedicine, systems are also appearing that will allow us to do most of the consultations from home and that can monitor our heart, our sleep and many other things, without leaving our chair.
Home consumption stabilizes and continues to develop
In the pandemic we are experiencing a peak of consumption at home, and although we continue, fortunately, to want to continue living in the outside world, there are things that have come to stay.
Sectors such as delivery, foodtech or those that give us everything done will continue to advance and improve.
Many restaurants that have implemented food delivery have seen a great opportunity in continuing the business . Some have created new business models with semi-processed food to finish at home, while more elaborate cooking proposals have also been developed for those special days.
We also invest more time in decoration, furniture and even in small do-it-yourself arrangements . Everything that has to do with the online sale of this type of products and services is experiencing a boom that will continue to grow.
The circular economy is favored in sales apps with the launch of used objects that no longer serve us.
And by spending more time at home we also have more time, so subscription business models that offer us activities for that free time will also become a trend. Among them, the offer of sports at home (Peloton), cinema (Netflix), books (Audible) and microlearning stands out . What we will see is that other super-specialized providers or focused on niches that do not cover the big ones will appear from general providers.
Ecommerce is no longer so easy and web 3.0 emerges
We buy almost everything online. Those who were more reluctant to implement eCommerce in their business models have had to do so due to market imperatives.
In fact, the eCommerce market in the United Kingdom went from representing 20% ​​at the end of 2019 to almost 35% in mid-2020 , a figure that will mark the second of our trends for entrepreneurs in 2022.
But starting a business in a market as mature as this one is no longer as easy as it was 3 or 5 years ago.
And despite the fact that there are large platforms that account for most of the business share , such as Amazon, eBay or AliExpress, there are also many niches with great opportunities in which the specialization and customization of customer service will allow them to compete with them.
For this reason, personalization and customer service will be trends in 2023 in market niches where the large platforms do not reach.
The appearance of a new generation of websites that are safer for the user, more personalized, more investing, with advanced systems offers a new opportunity for web 3rd entrepreneurs.
The star sector: biotech and healthtech
Imagine what it means, or has meant, to develop the Covid vaccine in record time. Well, the speed at which biotechnology and processors are developing , together with artificial intelligence , make this one of the most attractive sectors for investors and, therefore, for entrepreneurs .
But traditional medicine is a brake on entrepreneurs, long processes from a very old world, which does not accept that the world has changed, and that there are other ways to advance faster. But in this case, the entrepreneurs are not going to fight against the system as Spotify did, demonstrating that free music was going to be the greatest revolution for the music industry, but they are going to develop projects based on wearables and artificial intelligence systems that They will help us keep an exhaustive control of our health and lead a better life.
With regard to biotechnology, we are also advancing very quickly and the focus will be on the development of "add-ons" for humans. Synthetic skin, organs, body parts even with improved qualities compared to ours.
E-learning is everything
If you have to keep one sentence from this post , it is this: “in times of machine learning , the only way to remain relevant is to be a learning machineâ€.
The only thing we know that is constant is change (and now more than ever), so we have to keep our profiles updated and ready to provide human capital.
Even before the pandemic, the Research and Markets consultancy predicted that the online education market would rise to $350 billion by 2025 . It is expected that after updating these data due to the effect of the pandemic, the figure may exceed more than 500,000 million.
It is not surprising that distance training, by telepresence or online, has been the constant during 2021, but in 2022 this will not change. What will do is how we consume, because we will demand more microlearning for just in time consumption . If I have a need to learn something and I have the time, I want to do it.
ESG Investing
There is a term in the world of venture capital investment called ESG Investing ( environmental, social and governance ) that describes a type of investment in projects that incorporate environmental, social and governance factors in decision making.
Well, this is one of the main trends for the coming year, with investors investing 45.6 billion dollars  in sustainable investments during the first quarter of the year.
As a result, ClimateTech 2.0 looks set to be one of the standout successes of 2021 thanks to new business models enabled by IoT, as well as better data and acceptance that a purely energy-focused approach will not achieve the stated emissions targets. for the year 2050.Â
This is a departure from the previous ClimateTech cycle , which focused solely on energy and how climate considerations can be incorporated into a broader range of sectors, including fintech , agritech , transportation, energy, manufacturing, and the construction.
