This article discusses the technology industry and the various innovations that are driving it forward. It looks at the S-shaped curve of innovation, which reflects the typical lifecycle of an innovation from early emergence to accelerating adoption and finally stabilisation and maturity. GlobalData’s Technology Foresights report identifies over 300 innovation areas that will shape the future of the industry, with finite element simulation, ML-enabled blockchain networks, and generative adversarial network (GAN) being some of the disruptive technologies in the early stages of application.
