Megatrend: Technology Innovation
This trend includes both rapid advancement and is exponential at its core. It builds on previous technology breakthroughs as Internet, social media, digitalisation of our companies and societies. In the coming years, the way we work, fight, age, communicate, solve problems, travel, trade, exchange information, live in cities, solve crimes, do business, vote, and connect to our loved ones will all be changed due to technology.
We will need to keep increased focus on Data, as it will be increasingly considered the new most important asset. AI will learn to automate and help predict in most areas of work, health and energy. We will see disintegration of companies and new ecosystems being formed. Improved virtualisation and visualisation will increasingly impact us through AR and VR. We will continue to see a materials nano impacted revolution and the integration with biology and humans will increase. Cybersecurity will find new challenges and solutions, including checking someone’s identity for baking and other security services. While less than 5% of occupations consists of activities that can be fully automated, up to 30% of hours worked globally could be automated by 2030. The planet will continue to feel even smaller in 2030 as more people are able to communicate over the internet (90% of the world population will be able to read; 75% will have mobile connectivity; 60% should have broadband access), they will also move more. Almost all European cars will be connected to the internet in 2030
