It focuses on emerging technologies predicted to have the largest impact over the next 2 to 5 years. There are 8 technology areas you can filter by: - Internet of Things (IoT) - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation - Simulated and enhanced environments - Engineering/materials science - Data - Wearables - Transport - Security Each of these areas contains between 3 and 17 sub-categories.
