About Global Tech Trends

Global Tech Trends is the product of a partnership between TechBBQ and Innovation Centre Denmark.

‍

The project was mandated by the Danish Government through The Government’s Action Plan for Economic Diplomacy, and the ambition driving it has been to provide an answer to the question “which areas of technology will come to dominate the future of business, science, and innovation?”

The core of Global Tech Trends is a series of 20 short reports, each covering a specific tech trend. These trends have been identified and developed by the seven innovation centres that are strategically placed across global innovation hotspots in Silicon Valley, Boston, Munich, Tel Aviv, Seoul, Shanghai, and Bangalore. Each report contains a general explanation of the given technology, an estimation of its potential impact, and a brief analysis of how supportive these local innovation ecosystems are from the perspective of policy, entrepreneurship, corporate engagement, finance, and academia.
