We will celebrate National Small Business Week, May 3–9, 2026. What’s unique this year is how the narrative for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) has fundamentally shifted. We are no longer just talking about trying AI but witnessing a full-scale transition from simple experimentation to strategic, revenue-driven adoption.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Empowering Small Business Report 2025 highlights this massive leap, citing that the usage of generative AI among small firms jumped from 40% in 2024 to 58% in 2025.
