pioneer/... with an enterprising spirit


Explanation:
弄潮儿 has a metaphor meaning: 喻有勇敢进取精神的人. For example, "时代的弄潮儿". If this is what you are having in the context, you can refer the person as a pioneer if you want to emphasize the braveness or refer the item/person as something/someone with an enterprising spirit if you want to emphasize that the item/person does not satisfy with the current status and tries to pursue a higher goal.
