Top 100 Business Trends in November

From Virtual Whiteboard Solutions to Exclusive Alpine Pop-Ups

— November 25, 2023 — Business
The November 2021 business trends consist of a diverse range of business-related developments that CEOs and aspiring entrepreneurs ought to keep their eye on. From metaverse-focused startups and phygital clothing collections to Black Friday boycotting brands and youth-oriented investment apps, this collection is jam-packed with exciting innovations.

A standout theme this month was the prevalence of newly launched Metaverse startups and developments. For example, Prox & Reverie opened the doors to a massive metaverse-focused design studio in London, England, crypto venture fund Hashed launched metaverse incubator UNOPND, and Andy Wood and Patrick Bradley announced the launch of WiSE, an investment fund dedicated to NFTs and the metaverse.

Of course, Black Friday-related events were another notable theme this month. Several major retail companies began promoting Black Friday sales weeks in advance, including Best Buy, Walmart, and Nike. Interestingly, other niche brands like Nagnata took the opportunity to push back against Black Friday and its associated fast-fashion excesses.
