Global research group, Gartner said it has identified five technology trends which are set to transform the world.

The company said that the 29 must-watch technologies on its Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2019 list revealed five distinct emerging technology trends that create and enable new experiences, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and other constructs to enable organisations to take advantage of emerging digital ecosystems.

“Technology innovation has become the key to competitive differentiation”, said Brian Burke, research vice president at Gartner.

“The pace of change in technology continues to accelerate as breakthrough technologies are continually challenging even the most innovative business and technology decision makers to keep up”.

“Technology innovation leaders should use the innovation profiles highlighted in the Hype Cycle to assess the potential business opportunities of emerging technologies.”
