Overview
Competition is intensifying across almost every industry, and the primary question most organizations have is, how can we set ourselves apart from the rest? The answer lies in creating something completely new and groundbreaking, something that competitors have not yet thought of, and that would take others years of research to develop.
As new developments emerge, how can we identify those relevant to our business, and those that we may capitalise on?
This report explores new disruptive trends that, if properly capitalised on, could give a significant first-mover advantage, and that are likely to have significant influence on your business in the coming years.

Improving engagement through voice search and voice assistants,
Leveraging on computer vision to differentiate content,
Capitalising on the future of wearable and foldable technology,
Enabling new content and driving engagement through 5G, and
