He World Economic Forum (FEM) He has published his emerging technologies list by 2025, prepared in collaboration with the Frontiers Media scientific publishing house. This selection does not focus on specific companies, but in concepts that combine novelty and technological maturity, with the real potential to positively impact society in the next three to five years.
From new ways of generating energy to advances in artificial intelligence and biomedicine, These are the innovations that could mark the future nearby:
Advanced nuclear energy
The FEM provides for a boom of new smaller and safest nuclear designs, accompanied by cooling systems alternatives. This generation of reactors promises cleaner and more economical energy, with the ability to integrate into zero emission and high reliability systems.
A radical change in mobility could come from batteries that are structural part of the vehicles
Structural batteries
A radical change in the mobility It could come from the batteries that, in addition to storing energy, act as a structural part of the vehicles. This reduces weight and improvement efficiency, impacting both the performance in and the sustainability of car and electric planes.
Collaborative detection
The connection between intelligent sensors – whether in vehicles, urban infrastructure or emergency services – will allow Share information in real time. This can be translated into less accidents, better response times and safer cities.
Generative watermarking
In a world saturated with content generated by artificial intelligencethis technology adds invisible water marks to distinguish the real from the artificial. A key tool to stop misinformation and reinforce digital trust.
Green nitrogen
Today, fertilizer production depends on fossil fuels. Green nitrogen proposes a change: manufacture it with clean electricity. The result would be a more sustainable agriculture, with less carbon footprint.
GLP-1 drugs against neurodegenerative diseases
GLP-1 medications, known for treating diabetes and obesity, They show potential to combat evils such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson. The FEM highlights its possible role as a revolutionary treatment in the neurological field.
Autonomous biochemical detection
Smart sensors capable of measuring changes in the environment or in the human body no need for cables or continuous intervention. From the early detection of diseases to the monitoring of environmental pollutants, its application seems infinite.
Nanoenzymes will allow environmental decontamination or low -cost medical diagnosis
Nanoenzymes
Inspired by natural enzymes, these artificial versions are more resistant and economic. Its versatility opens doors in fields such as Environmental decontaminationThe low cost medical diagnosis.
Life therapies designed
A new border in medicine: therapies based on modified bacteria that act from within the body. The objective is to improve clinical results and reduce costs, especially in long -term treatments.
Osmotic energy
This renewable source takes advantage of the pressure difference between fresh and salty water To generate electricity. Of special interest in coastal areas, where it can help preserve both the natural environment and biodiversity.
The emerging technologies list of the World Economic Forum indicates strategic advances and tools in the face of great global challenges: climate change, health crisis, energy transition … As these innovations jump from the laboratory to everyday life, their impact will depend on both their adoption and their responsible regulation.
