The last time such significant changes occurred was in the early 20th Century with the introduction of the telephone, electricity and the automobile.Five innovation platforms that are currently evolving and converging at the same time, Wood said, are artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, DNA sequencing and blockchain technology.
“All of them are on exponential growth trajectories and are converging with each other,” Wood told Hayes.Over the next 10 years, Wood said she believes the market cap associated with the five platforms that include 14 transformative technologies will scale at a 30% compounded annual rate of return.
The five platforms are expected to have increased equity market returns from a total $13.7 trillion in 2020 to a projected $202.6 trillion in 2030.
