Solactive: Future Trends in 2022

Solactive has released its “Future Trends 2022” report, analyzing the trends that will change the future starting now.

The evolution of the automotive ecosystem

The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid and disruptive transformation with the development of alternatives to the internal combustion engine, as well as the emergence of electric vehicles and other alternative engine concepts. This will change the landscape of the automotive ecosystem and drive the development of those in the electric vehicle manufacturing, autonomous driving, charging infrastructure and battery technology solutions, as well as innovation in the industry.

Data Intelligence

We live in the age of big data. For the first time since the theoretical development of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, we have the computing power and data to develop artificial intelligence that is ahead of humans in many aspects. With this rapid development, data intelligence is quickly becoming the most important asset for companies that hope to succeed in the future. At the same time, the value contained in these data assets will drive the need for more powerful computing power and protection against cybercrime. Cybersecurity, computing power, big data and artificial intelligence all require data intelligence.

Web 3.0

The Internet is on the verge of a transformation to Web 3.0. While the ultimate definition of this transformation has not yet been fully clarified, the goal is to democratize content ownership and build a fully decentralized, data-driven, and machine-based network. To achieve this goal, technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts and tokens, as well as machine learning will provide basic building blocks. At the same time, Web 3.0 will accelerate the development of the metaverse. The report divides Web 3.0 into the following categories: blockchain, tokens and NFTs, and big data and artificial intelligence.

Metaverse

Tech giants have recognized the potential of the Metaverse and are willing to transform into platform providers, leveraging their established customer base and service offerings. Although the ultimate goal is to have an overarching single and interoperable Metaverse, different Metaverse platforms with different focuses and scopes are currently being developed.

In addition to future technological trends, the report also analyzes future trends in environmental changes and lifestyle.
