Every 12 months we spend months researching and discussing which technologies will make our list of 10 disruptive technologies. We try to emphasize a mixture of elements that reflect innovations going down in various fields. We take a look at consumer technologies, large-scale industrial projects, biomedical advances, changes in computing, climate solutions, the newest developments in artificial intelligence, and more.
We’ve been publishing this list yearly since 2001 and, truthfully, now we have an excellent track record of flagging cases which may be reaching crisis point. It’s hard to imagine some other industry that has as much buzz as technology, so the true secret behind the TR10 is what we selected to leave off the list.
