New technologies will deliver simpler, more accessible, and often more cost-effective solutions to many of the biggest challenges faced by humankind, upending the status quo and challenging all incumbents. This wave of technological invention and disruption is sometimes called “the fourth industrial revolution” – a revolution that will transform how we live and work as much as steam power, electricity and computer technology each did.
Companies embracing disruptive tech to break free from the norm have the power to reinvent themselves and create new markets. Some of them even turn into ‘unicorns’, privately-held companies valued at over $1 billion. Disruption isn’t just about technological advances – it’s about doing things differently, and doing things better.
