What are the Top Tech Trends of 2025?

Generative AI: From copilots to reasoning AI agents

Autonomous intelligent systems, capable of learning and adapting to new situations, are becoming more prevalent and valuable across various industries. 70% of executives and 85% of investors (venture capital, private equity, and commercial banks) pick AI agents as a top three impactful technology for 2025.

AI & Gen AI in cybersecurity: New defenses, new threats

AI is transforming cybersecurity as well as cyber threats. Industry executives in our survey ranked AI and Gen AI in cybersecurity as the topmost trend out of more than 60 trends for 2025.

AI-driven robotics: Blurring the line between human and machine

Industries are using collaborative robots – or cobots – and AI-driven robotics to enhance productivity and safety. As robots become more autonomous and AI takes on complex decision-making roles, the traditional structure of authority in the workplace may shift.

The surge in AI driving nuclear resurgence

With the growing need for clean, reliable power to meet the energy demands of AI and other high-energy technologies, nuclear energy is poised to play a crucial role in 2025 and beyond. We believe that 2025 will be an important year for the advancement of small modular reactors (SMRs).

New-generation supply chain: Agile, greener, and AI-assisted

Faced with increasingly complex – and often unpredictable – market conditions, organizations are focusing on improving the efficiency, resilience, agility, circularity, and sustainability of their supply chains. Technologies like AI, data, blockchain, IoT, and terrestrial-satellite network connectivity will all play a role in achieving improvements in global logistics.
