• The World Economic Forum's "Top 10 Emerging Technologies" report explores technologies that are at a pivotal juncture—balancing scientific advancements with real-world impact.

• Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, energy, and other technology fields are expected to have a profound impact over the next three to five years.

• Technological convergence is shaping a more integrated, systems-based approach to tackling some of the most pressing challenges we face.

From adding watermarks to generative AI content to producing fertilizers in a more environmentally friendly way, the World Economic Forum’s report, "The Top 10 Emerging Technologies for 2025," explores the technologies poised to make a significant impact on our lives in the coming years.

This year's ten technologies were selected based on their novelty, level of advancement, and potential to deliver meaningful benefits to society.

"By identifying technologies at a tipping point—those scientific breakthroughs poised to unlock practical applications—we equip leaders in government, industry, and the scientific community with the insights needed to make forward-thinking decisions in an increasingly dynamic landscape," said Jeremy Jurgens and Frederick Fenter in the report's foreword.

Four Key Trends to Watch

Among the top 10 emerging technologies of 2025, four major trends are emerging:

• Trust and Security in an Interconnected World

• Next-generation biotechnology for healthier lives

• Reimagining Industrial Sustainability

• The integration of energy and materials

The report also highlights the increasingly prominent trend of technological convergence—such as the integration of AI with biological systems, as well as the role of new materials in advancing clean energy solutions.
