Technologies are currently developing at a pace that is difficult for companies to keep up with. Our Tech Trends Radar supports you with clear, data-based insights to systematically monitor and classify developments.
It highlights which technologies will be relevant for action in the next two years and where strategic impact is likely to occur over the medium term. This allows investments, resources and innovation initiatives to be steered along reliable development and impact corridors.
Why technology foresight is crucial now
The Tech Trends Radar goes beyond a pure technology overview. It combines structured foresight analysis with strategic categorisation and shows how key technologies - from AI world models to interoperable platforms - open up strategic areas for action.
