Commerce is once again tapping New Jersey’s top business minds for insights into the year ahead. As we enter 2026, CEOs, business owners, partners, and president from across the state share their predictions on what’s next for business in New Jersey.

Tariff policies have accelerated onshoring and an increase in foreign investments in U.S.-based businesses.

It seems that dealmakers have become immune to a lot of the volatility and it has become the new normal. The bottom line is that we are anticipating another strong year for acquisitions at high valuations.” – Alan Scharfstein
