InQ.IFBA Portal da Inovação & Qualidade
De Jonas Souza e Rennan Ribeiro
As a research group focused on innovation and quality our job is to look to the future, and with the arrival of a new year, we will try to address the emerging technological trends that will shape our world in the next twelve months.
1.Metaverse:
The metaverse has been on the rise throughout 2022 and next year will be no different. Experts predict that the metaverse will add $5 trillion to the global economy by 2030, and 2023 will be the year that will define the focus of the metaverse for the next decade. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies will continue to advance. One area to be observed is the work environment in the metaverse. Companies like Microsoft and Nvidia are already developing metaverse platforms for collaboration on digital projects.
2.Blockchain:
In the simplest terms, blockchain can be described as data that you can Only add, not remove or change. Hence the term “chain” because you are making a data chain. Not being able to change the previous data blocks is what makes it so secure. With blockchain, you don’t need trusted third parties to oversee or validate transactions. Several industries are engaging and implementing blockchain in their systems and, as the use of blockchain technology increases, so does the demand for qualified professionals.
3.Green Technology:
One of the goals of all countries in the world is to curb carbon emissions is one of the until 2050. Therefore, a bet for 2023 is “green hydrogen”, this technology is based on generating hydrogen in a sustainable way. Shell and RWE, two major European energy companies, are creating the first major green pipeline from wind farms in the North Sea. We will also see progress in the development of decentralized electrical networks that provides a system of small generators located in individual homes so that they can provide power even if the main grid is not available.
4.3D printing:
The 3D printer allows you to perform the manufacture of three-dimensional objects through filament layer. Although already relevant since the last decade, 3D printing and computational modeling techniques are expected to become increasingly accessible to the public, especially for the population with less purchasing power.
To this end, the companies responsible for providing this technology are increasingly competing in the market to reduce their price, therefore it is expected that in 2023 there will be a great demand for it.
5.Biotechnology:
With the period of health crisis of the pandemic of the new Coronavirus, it was seen the great need to carry out studies involving the manipulation of organisms for the generation of vaccines, serum, medicine, among others. As a result, it is expected that the area of biological Technologies will be increasingly valued, leading to a great development in the coming years.
6.Cybersecurity:
In the last decade has been reported to the system invasion of large technology companies, such as: Amazon, Facebook and Twitter. This problem usually happens by flaws in the digital security of the systems, making it possible to attack Hackers.
To solve this problem arises cybersecurity, a technique that enables the study of better tools for digital security, thus protecting the data of users and companies. Being one of the big bets for security of global databases in the coming years.
7.Autonomous Robotics:
Autonomous Robotics is the area of engineering that enables the creation of robots that perform human tasks without the need to have a human being in control. Thus becoming a great tool of artificial intelligence, and can be very useful in the production of objects in the industrial environment and also in the user’s own home environment.
