Megatrend While a robot is a machine designed to sense, process, act, and communicate, automation refers to technology that executes tasks with minimal human input; enabling the functioning of robots, as well as reasoning and decision-making systems. Driven by profound progress in engineering design, materials science, advanced machine intelligence, and advanced communication networks, robots and automation will increasingly enter many, if not all, industries beyond the automotive, manufacturing, supply chain logistics, and services sectors. This will provide opportunities for efficiency and innovation although there will also be ethical and societal challenges.

Megatrend Driven by resource scarcity, climate change, and shifts in social values, environmental impact management will increasingly move towards the holistic management of ecosystems. Approaches to conservation will be more interdisciplinary and future-focused, taking into account both societal and environmental factors and with the goal of maintaining biodiversity while meeting basic human needs.

Megatrend Digital natives – those who have grown up with digital forms of entertainment, education, and even communications – will naturally usher in increasingly virtual worlds where many ‘real-world’ tasks and behaviours can be replicated and even improved in 3D and 4D environments. The emergence and spread of 5G and 6G networks will enhance autonomous and IoT applications as they offer more reliable, cost-effective and secure high-speed connectivity. As quantum technologies become scalable and reliable, from quantum computing, communications and sensors, immersive experiences will start to feel like reality.
