Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. For decades, business leaders were told to “crush the competition.” Market share was a zero-sum game; if your rival won, you lost.

Companies that are thriving in 2025 aren’t just fighting competitors harder; they’re practicing something counterintuitive: co-opetition.Co-opetition, the blend of cooperation and competition, is about partnering with rivals when doing so creates mutual value.
