The rules of the game are changing.
Why invest in this trend?
-
Everything is changing at an increasingly faster pace.The pace of transformation in many sectors is faster and more tangible than ever. The reasons? Climate change, population ageing, technological innovation... There are many factors that make these transformations visible.
-
Small companies making their way among the big ones.Technological disruption is not only present in obvious sectors such as telecommunications, software, distribution or the pharmaceutical industry. We are living in times of change, in which some large companies are being displaced by small, agile, innovative companies with an intensive use of technology: startups.
-
5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing... A historic time.Trends that will be key to economic development in the coming years form part of this process of technological disruption, a process that is attracting large volumes of investment.
-
Increased turnover of dominant companies.In 1958, a company remained on Standard & Poor's ratings for an average of 61 years; this is now down to 20 years. This factor reveals a much more competitive environment in which innovation will be decisive to avoid being left behind.
-
Greater difficulty maintaining leadership.In 2000, the five largest companies in the S&P Index accounted for 18% of total volume. Currently, these companies represent just 8%, and only Microsoft remains in the Top 5.
The sixth wave is not the technology of the future, it is the technology of tomorrow.
Current technology vs. future technologies.
