Lets look ahead to key innovation trends, practical tools and strategic tactics shaping SME success in 2026, emphasising that meaningful growth comes from human-centred innovation, smart hybrid use of AI, modular offerings, sustainable practices and collaborative ecosystems rather than chasing every new technology.
Reflecting on 2025 as a year of growth, experimentation and connection at Broxbourne Enterprise Centres. This blog highlights how founders, SMEs and partners navigated change together, strengthened community ties, supported one another’s ambitions and built momentum through collaboration, shared learning and everyday moments of connection.
Change is constant, but growth is a choice. As we close another year at Broxbourne Enterprise Centre, we’re celebrating the courage of local founders who’ve embraced innovation, explored emerging technologies, and reimagined what’s possible. From AI tools to new business models, our community continues to prove that the future isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we create together.
The Wire is our online community for Broxbourne Enterprise Centre members to connect, share wins, and support each other. It’s your space to grow your network, ask questions, and tap into opportunities across the wider Oxford Innovation Space network.
