Each year, Amy Webb and her Future Today Institute launch their tech trends report. This edition of the annual report tracks more than 700 technology and science trends that are likely to influence every industry. Amy had this to say about the report on LinkedIn:

The theme for our 2024 report is Supercycle. In economics, a “supercycle” refers to an extended period of booming demand, elevating the prices of commodities and assets to unprecedented heights. It stretches across years, even decades, and is driven by substantial and sustained structural changes in the economy.

We believe we have entered a technology supercycle. This wave of innovation is so potent and pervasive that it promises to reshape the very fabric of our existence, from the intricacies of global supply chains to the minutiae of daily habits, from the corridors of power in global politics to the unspoken norms that govern our social interactions.

On the cover of our 2024 Tech Trends Report, we’ve visually represented the tech supercycle, which is an undulating image reminiscent of a storm radar. Vertical and horizontal lines mark the edges of each section’s cover. When all 16 section covers converge, the trends reveal a compounding effect as reverberating aftershocks influence every other area of technology and science, as well as all industries.

It’s the convergence that matters. In isolation, trends offer limited foresight into the future. Instead, the interplay of these trends is what reveals long-term change.
