<p>This editorial discusses the changing conditions under which small and medium-sized enterprises pursue growth in an era shaped by trade fragmentation, geopolitical instability, technological acceleration, and mounting sustainability pressures. It argues that resilient entrepreneurship should be understood not as survival alone, but as the capacity to absorb disruption, adapt with discipline, preserve strategic direction, and renew competitiveness under prolonged uncertainty. The discussion emphasizes that such resilience is shaped not only by firm-level capabilities, but also by governance arrangements, institutional support, financial conditions, and the effective use of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence. It further shows that sustainable growth now depends on the alignment of entrepreneurial judgment, capability renewal, and external support systems. The editorial concludes that the future of SME development will be determined less by turbulence itself than by the quality of the capabilities and structures through which firms confront it.</p>
