Demographic and social challenges

Among demographic trends, population ageing and urbanisation are first in line. This could translate into compelling opportunities for industries to develop a number of solutions including:

  • Infrastructure development
  • Medical equipment and services
  • Age-related mobility
  • Leisure activities.

Technological revolution

One of the biggest challenges for the current pace of technological change is the dramatic increase in high-quality data needing to be processed instantly, which requires advanced network infrastructures. This theme leads to opportunities in companies active in innovative business, for example:

  • Infrastructure development
  • Big data processing
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI).
