Starting in 1995, we began to focus our research on innovation and the creative destruction that comes from it. Over the last 25-plus years, we have explored the ramifications of numerous technologies, including open systems, broadband, next generation wireless, IoT, nanotech, big data, cloud computing, 3D-printers, cybersecurity, clean energy systems, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, virtual and augmented reality, Web 3.0, DeFi, robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and communications, genomics, gene editing, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine.
The accelerating convergence is causing the rate of acceleration itself to accelerate. Implications include new exponential business models, massive disruption of old-line industries, potential solutions to global grand challenges such as climate change, and an escalating technology arms race. Creative disruption in the exponential age means many incumbent businesses will increasingly be in harm’s way.
A comprehensive listing of all our creative destruction reports can be found here.
We believe there are several key technology platforms that have been and will continue to drive innovation in the years ahead. The key technology platforms are:
- Clean Energy
- Automation
- Genomics
- Quantum Science
- Blockchain/Web 3.0
- Next Generation Wireless Networks
