The top seven technology trends for 2020 - dr Mark van Rijmenam

Editor's Notes

  1. The Year of Convergence We have reached the end of 2019 and just like previous years, I am looking ahead to see what organisations can expect next year. I believe the 2020 will be exciting as ever when it comes to technology. As I said before, we live in exponential times and the more various technologies converge, the more exciting the opportunities become. Thanks to this convergence, intelligent applications and solutions become available and organisations can increase productivity, become smarter, more agile, automated and eventually also more humane. The convergence of technologies will kick-start the third decade and the results of it will be felt in the years to come. Therefore, 2020 will be the Year of Convergence.
  2. Next year, we will enter the third decade of this century and the future looks more exciting than ever before. Thanks to the convergence of different technologies, organisations can increase productivity, become smarter, more agile, automated and more humane. In 2020, technologies will more and more converge and when they do so, intelligent applications and solutions become available. The convergence of technologies will kick-start the third decade and the results of it will be felt in the years to come. The Year of Convergence.
