TechVisionThe TechVision program is the premier offering of Technical Insights, the global technology innovation-, disruption-, and convergence-focused practice of Frost & Sullivan. TechVision embodies a veryselective collection of emerging and disruptive technologies that will shape our world in the near future.This body of work is a culmination of thousands of hours of focused effort put in by over 60 global technology analysts based in six continents.
A unique feature of the TechVision program is an annual selection of 50 technologies that are driving visionary innovation and stimulating global growth. The selected technologies are spread across nine Technology Clusters that represent the bulk of R&D and innovation activity today. Each Cluster representsa unique group of game-changing and disruptive technologies that attract huge investments, demonstratecutting-edge developments, and drive the creation of new products and services through convergence.
Our technology analysts regularly collect deep-dive intelligence on several emerging and disruptive technologies and innovations from around the globe. Interviews are conducted every day with innovators,technology developers, funders, and others who are a part of various technology ecosystems. The respondents are spread across public and private sectors, universities, research institutions, and government R&D agencies. Each technology is rated and compared across several parameters, such asglobal R&D footprint, year of impact, global IP patenting activity, private and public funding, current andemerging applications, potential adoption rate, market potential, and so on. This organic and continuousresearch effort spread across several technologies, regions, organizations, applications, and industries is
used to generate an annual list of Top 50 technologies that have the maximum potential to spawn innovative products, services, andbusiness models.
Furthermore, we analyse several possible convergence scenarios where two or more of the Top 50 technologies can potentially come together to disrupt, collapse, and transform the status quo. Driven by IP interactivity emanating from each of the top technologies, awhole range of innovative business models, products, and services will be launched at unprecedented speed in the future. We have comeup with over 25 such unique convergence scenarios.
The Top 50 technologies we have selected for TechVision 2015 have the power to drive unique convergence and catalyse wide-scale industry disruptions. Frost and Sullivan’s TechVision program empowers you with ideas and strategies to leverage the innovations and disruptive technologiesthat can drive the transformational growth of your organization.
