Disruptive Technology

Disruptive Technology

Traditional technologies and production methods are being revolutionised and replaced faster than ever before. This is giving rise to new markets characterised by linear rather than exponential growth. For example, we use Uber instead of traditional taxis, we ask Amazon’s Alexa whether to leave the house with or without an umbrella, we book our holiday accommodation through Airbnb and Booking.com, and we let our architect show us around our new home using virtual reality before a single brick has been laid. But it is not only consumers who are exposed to revolutionary technological developments. Disruptive new technologies will also shake up entire industries and transform the way that companies are structured and operate. We have been offering diversified investment solutions in the areas of e-commerce, 3D printing, IOT, VR & AR, robotics and automation, blockchain, artificial intelligence and e-mobility since 2013.

What’s next? With the rise of Industry 4.0, new technologies are already emerging that have the potential to revolutionise markets and turn science fiction into reality. True ageing, 3D hologram technology, artificial meat and SpaceTec are just some of these. Quantum computers and quantum internet promise unimaginable computing power on a whole new level compared with the potential offered by today’s AI, and is likely to push the existing frontiers of knowledge. Whatever the future holds, we are constantly on the look-out for promising new technologies that have the potential to become the next megatrend.
