Technology
The year 2025 is identified as a critical "practical inflection point" where several emerging technologies – Extended Reality (XR), digital twins, Edge AI, and foldable smartphones – transition from hype to execution. The document outlines four key technological trajectories and provides a "Pragmatic Readiness Playbook" for businesses to successfully adopt and integrate these technologies. The core message is not about adopting everything, but "adopt[ing] well, with tight data foundations, risk controls, and change playbooks." The overarching goal for 2025 is to lay the groundwork for scale in 2026-2028.
