For the 13th consecutive year, the World Economic Forum has released its report on the top ten technologies set to change the world for the better. These technologies will speed our efforts to tackle everything from the energy transition to neurodegenerative diseases and more. Based on expert nominations and rigorous examination, the solutions drive home to leaders the increasing ways that technologies are converging and building on each other and showcase the importance of technology foresight as a key strategic tool to make meaningful change, integration and investment happen. Guests guiding us through this report for the fifth year include Bernie Meyerson, chief innovation officer emeritus at IBM, and Mariette DiChristina, Dean and professor of the practice of journalism at Boston University College of Communication. This interview was recorded in May 2025 in the New York office of the World Economic Forum. Top 10 Emerging Technologies for this year:
- Structural Battery Composites
- Collaborative Sensing
- Green Nitrogen Fixation
- Generative Watermarking
- Engineered Living Therapeutics
- GLP-1s for Neurodegenerative Diseases
- Autonomous Biochemical Sensing
- Next-Gen Nuclear Energy
- Osmotic Power Systems
- Nanozymes
