Cybersecurity transformation driven by quantum technologies: Industrial applications of quantum technologies are realized in quantum secure communication and optimization of machine learning models using quantum machine learning.
Low-code non-code platforms for super app development: By 2024, low-code development will account for more than 65% of application development activities.
5G Applications Going Mainstream: 5G will become the de facto standard in the coming years, with increased collaboration between telcos and enterprises leading to a multitude of innovative 5G applications.
Rise of the “verse”: With technologies like 5G, AI and extended reality, companies will continue to excel at creating immersive experiences for years to come.
Blockchain to power Web 3.0: In 2023, we can expect the emergence of a more Web 3.0-centric blockchain, characterized by cohesive interoperability, automation through smart contracts, and seamless integration.
Technology to improve sustainability: We will see increasing awareness of green practices and how technology can be at the intersection to achieve sustainability-focused KPIs and ESG goals.
Technology to improve the employee experience: For almost 50% of HR leaders worldwide, the employee experience is a top priority. Cutting-edge technologies will lead to better experiences—from hiring and onboarding to learning and employee engagement.
