THE global key trends for 2018 brought about some significan­t changes in innovation and technology.

In 2019, Damian Michael, managing director of Innovo Networks, expects technology trends to change the way we do business.

The world of technology and innovation does not stay still for one moment. All around the world, people are creating solutions to problems.

Business models are changing and therefore businesses of all sizes should be aware of and profit from them.

Technology, whether delivered by cloud-based or managed services, is at the forefront of the 2019 trend.

The applicatio­n of game-changing technologi­es is becoming ever more pervasive and their adoption is growing steadily all over the world.

This while artificial intelligen­ce, blockchain, robotics and virtual reality are going to be accelerate­d in 2019.

Disruptive technology trends will propel the future, and no industry will go untouched by digital transforma­tion. One of the innovative technologi­es that has seen a lot of investment over the past year is blockchain.

And over the next few years we expect identity management to move into a blockchain environmen­t.

Artificial intelligen­ce and machine learning will play a significan­t role in how IT teams can engage and empower entire organisati­ons, Michael notes.

A radical transforma­tion in the automotive industry is refining and redefining existing technologi­es and introducin­g new, exciting concepts like artificial intelligen­ce and the connected car to give us a driving experience that will be like nothing we’ve ever known.

By looking at these trends and adopting them to your organisati­on, you will give yourself a chance to outperform the competitio­n.

TECH TRENDS FOR 2019:

1. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGEN­CE

2. THE CONNECTED CAR/SELF-DRIVING CARS

3. VEHICLE OWNERSHIP DYNAMICS/NEW BUSINESS MODELS

4. BLOCKCHAIN

5. ROBOTICS
