Future of Technology

If you don’t use technology to disrupt the market, then someone else will.

Any innovation journey starts with unchartered territories. To stay ahead of competitors, businesses must apply technologies to the challenges and opportunities they encounter.

Technology has always been a key lever in a company’s arsenal, but new consumer behaviors and macro trends mandate tech-driven innovation as part of any development strategy. Looking to understand metaverse, blockchain, AI, quantum technologies or other new and disruptive tech? If you’re considering the impact of new and emerging tech on your business strategy, these insights help executives anticipate trends and assess their potential.

By understanding how to select, adopt and deploy innovation in a fluid manner, businesses can navigate a route to a sustainable and profitable future.

Preparing for the next wave of technology

TechnoVision 2023: Right the technology, write the future

The technological universe continues to expand, augment, and adapt at a phenomenal rate. Physical and virtual worlds merge, robots teach themselves, and the quantum realm looms even nearer. However, as abundant as these technology drivers seem to be, the resources they require are no longer abundant. The anticipated scarcity of everything means it is now vital for everyone to tune and optimize business operations by using less resources while being more sustainable. This is where TechnoVision shines. Designed as an accessible and actionable framework, it describes 37 technology trends, to help you respond successfully to current and future scenarios. There’s something in each trend for everybody, whether you are an IT expert looking for the serendipity of unexpected angles, or a tech-curious businessperson trying to decode the buzz.

TechnoVision 2023: Do good. Do less. Do well.

2023 promises to be yet another highly unpredictable year. Join us on 8 February for an online event to discover the technology business trends perspective you cannot miss.

      Future of fan engagement

      Within the highest division of the hockey system, any competitive advantage on or off the ice can make the difference between a successful campaign and an early start to the off-season. In Sweden, the Malmö Redhawks have made the decision to lead the way in terms of innovation. While the team has consistently had one of the smallest budgets in the league, Malmö has created an identity built around substantial success, including recently making the playoffs three years in a row in spite of the high degree of competitiveness that defines SHL matches. As part of its latest hunt for a leg up on its rivals, the Redhawks turned to digital technology in search of a way to use its data more effectively.

      Dijon: smart city cuts the mustard

      Digital technology has ushered in a new era of development within the business world. However, it is no longer limited to manufacturing plants and offices. Continuous innovation has seen digital solutions increasingly impact daily life and change the way cities are viewed. The French city of Dijon saw an exciting opportunity in this development, envisioning a future in which all urban equipment, maintenance services, security systems, and transit are connected and function in synchronization upon a single network. To pursue this vision, Dijon launched an ambitious smart city project that included all 23 municipalities of the city’s metropole, covering a population of no less than 260,000.

      Metaverse: beyond the hype

      The metaverse is one of the most hyped concepts in technology right now – and with good reason. If your business is going to ensure it can serve its customers, consumers and connect to its employees in the future, then it must start investigating the metaverse.

      Being like water

      From battling unanticipated pandemics to rising geopolitical tensions and onto rapid climate change, executives face an ever-growing list of issues – and that’s before they even consider the day-to-day requirements of meeting new customer demands and supporting business growth. Dealing with this broad range of concerns is a significant test. By taking advantage of innovation, executives can embrace these challenges and help their businesses to develop – but only if technologies become part of a wider ecosystem of change and are implemented wisely.

      Startups are the catalyst for sustainable innovation

      The market dynamics are changing fast and corporate, as well as public bodies, must find the most appropriate way to leverage the power of startups ecosystems to create sustainable value.

      Innovation may be hard, but it’s not impossible

      In a rapidly changing technology-enabled world, finding innovative solutions to business challenges isn’t just an option for back-room discussion, it’s a minimum ‘table stakes’ gambit for all C-suite leaders.

      Why most innovations fail to scale and what to do about it

      Although companies are investing millions in R&D, innovation centers, and external partnerships, few seem able to achieve scale in areas such as smart factories, artificial intelligence, agile, or automation.
