Top 10 emerging technologies of 2015
Technology is perhaps the greatest agent of change in the modern world. While never without risk, technological breakthroughs promise innovative solutions to the most pressing global challenges of our time. From zero-emission cars fuelled by hydrogen to computer chips modelled on the human brain, this year’s 10 emerging technologies offer a vivid glimpse of the power of innovation to improve lives, transform industries and safeguard our planet.
To compile this list, the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies, a panel of 18 experts, draws on the collective expertise of the Forum’s communities to identify the most important recent technological trends. By doing so, the Meta-Council aims to raise awareness of their potential and contribute to closing the gaps in investment, regulation and public understanding that so often thwart progress.
The 2015 list is:
1. Fuel cell vehicles
2. Next-generation robotics
3. Recyclable thermoset plastics
4. Precise genetic engineering techniques
5. Additive manufacturing
6. Emergent artificial intelligence
7. Distributed manufacturing
8. ‘Sense and avoid’ drones
9. Neuromorphic technology
10. Digital genome
