Brand New: Aragon Research’s Technology Arc for Emerging Technologies in 2024
I am thrilled to conclude 2023 by sharing a forward-looking research piece: the unveiling of Aragon Research’s Technology Arc for Emerging Technologies for 2024. This in-depth report features 33 innovative technology profiles at their early developmental stages, offering insights into the trends that warrant attention and monitoring over the next couple of years.
The Technology Arc for Emerging Technologies encompasses a wide spectrum, covering various technology-enabled business disciplines and trends. It’s evident that this year’s Tech Arc has been significantly shaped by the major advancements in AI and the critical emphasis on security.
Aragon Research Technology Arcs
Within this technology arc, you’ll find several categories of technology profiles, including discrete technologies, integrated services, practices and disciplines, and high-level business concepts. These encompass diverse innovations such as video magnification, quantum computing, customer revenue optimization, zero trust, and AI development implementation frameworks, among others.
How Do We Determine These Top Emerging Technologies?
At Aragon Research, we meticulously track numerous evolving and mature technologies and services. The selection process involves focused research, extensive debates, and careful consideration to highlight technologies and services that we believe are pivotal and deserve attention as emerging technologies to watch.
We focus on identifying technologies and services that have the potential to make significant, transformative impacts on businesses overall, not just in IT. These are technologies in early developmental stages, displaying rapid evolution rates, making them essential to monitor closely.
Our methodology involves aligning this research with our other high profile research reports such as the Top Ten Technologies, along with our Predicts notes. This holistic approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the technological landscape, empowering businesses to plan effectively for the future.
What Major Trends Emerged This Year?
This year, there were three trends that dominated the major emerging trends.
- The first trend is the dramatic rate of release and adoption of AI technologies during 2023, and specifically of generative AI.
- The second trend is the rise of digital labor, and specifically the rise of digital labor assistants, copilots and agents.
- The third major trend is the increased investment enterprises are making in advanced security technologies and practices.
It is important to note that these trends are interrelated and interdependent. The more businesses and users leverage AI technologies, the more ecosystem security becomes an issue. These trends cannot be separated.
Bottom Line
I would encourage end users as well as technology providers who want to make the most of 2024 to read this research. It will help you prepare for what new technologies you may want to adopt, as well as those that you might want to avoid.
If you have any questions or would like more details, we have included the primary author for each technology profile in the note. Please feel free to contact Aragon Research to schedule an inquiry. In addition, you can follow our research agenda over the year as we continue to cover these technologies.
