Megatrend Human potential is unlimited. With advanced machine intelligence, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), technological developments in science and medicine, and an increasingly borderless world, people’s understanding and expectations of self-realisation, including work, education, and what it means to thrive, will shift. Personal development, how individuals and communities innovate and communicate, and new definitions of self-esteem, autonomy, and stability will bring forth new ideas about parenting, care, love, belonging, inclusion, and community.

Visionary

Megatrend Energy is imperative to everyday life and will continue to be so in the future. Technological advances and the growing demand for energy will drive exploration and the pursuit of new and alternative sources of energy. Novel materials and machine intelligence will enhance the generation of existing sources of energy and their transmission and distribution to any place on Earth or in space, pushing the boundaries of the energy ecosystem to levels previously unseen.

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.

Megatrend Progress in advanced machine intelligence, nano- and biotechnology, additive manufacturing, and the IoT will change both what we mean by health and nutrition and how they are experienced. Stemming from the unprecedented developments that will be required to respond to climate change, resource scarcity, and the desire for longevity, this megatrend will improve health in both the younger and the older years. It will reduce, if not eradicate, some communicable and non-communicable diseases and enhance the sustainable use of and access to water and food.
