Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out the emerging and enduring business during the pandemic covid19 in some countries to be set as example for starting a new business or surviving the remaining ones. This research was conducted by interviewing and having video conferences to some respondents from Europe, USA, South American countries and Indonesia. This paper provides a good view on surviving and emerging businesses for the past a few month periods of pandemic. The results revealed that technology and creativity is the key to have a successful business during the pandemic. Rather than having your customers come to you, we should deliver our service to their homes and give good quality product and service.

Keywords
