This video is part of: Centre for Frontier Technologies and Innovation

Ever heard of tech convergence? It's when separate innovations collide and supercharge each other, creating breakthroughs no single field of technology could pull off alone.. According to Kary Bheemaiah, co-author of a new report by the World Economic Forum and Capgemini, this is the future of tech. And it's built on 3 'Cs'. What are the 3Cs? - Combination – Mix existing technologies in new ways (like AI + sensors). - Convergence – When those combos start to work seamlessly together (think healthcare, AI, and biotech all syncing). - Compounding – Each advance fuels the next, snowballing into massive change. Read what Kary and Connie Kuang, co-authors of the Technology Convergence Report, have to say about eight powerful new technology domains and their combination to create new value chains: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/06/technologies-converging-to-create-new-opportunities-for-business/ #techconvergence25
