Megatrend An evolution of the Megatrend ‘Devaluation of Raw Data’ in 2022 and 2023, the rise of quantum computing, blockchains, the IoT, edge computing, automation, and digital realities, are all contributing to a data environment that is both constant and multi-dimensional. There is unprecedented volume and speed when it comes to the data available today. Enhanced by 5G, 6G, and advanced connectivity through multiple networks, and with an expected increase in the number of multilateral agreements focused on information interoperability, raw data will continue to increase in both quantity and variety. Under the right conditions, widespread access to immediate insights and real-time analysis will become commonplace.
