Economic uncertainty creates new opportunities for growth

Published: 7 July 2026

As Canada faces economic uncertainty driven by trade tensions, inflation and shifting global markets, Robert Nason, associate professor at ΒιΆΉΙη Desautels, is urging businesses to adopt a more entrepreneurial mindset.

Rather than taking a β€œwait-and-see” approach, Nason argues that organizations should view uncertainty as an opportunity to experiment, diversify suppliers and explore new markets.

Small, calculated moves can help businessesΒ identifyΒ growth opportunities while limiting risk. β€œWhen the environment is shifting so quickly, you need to keep your feet in the water, keep testing things out a little bit,” Nason said, warning that inaction can leave companies behind more agile competitors.Β
