Megatrends 2025
Artificial Intelligence
AI beyond LLMs
Artificial intelligence takes an evolutionary leap beyond language models. The future will be marked by autonomous agents capable of acting and making decisions in complex environments, systems specialized in specific sectors, and the development of AI integrated with neuromorphic hardware. The next great revolution in AI will be its ability to reason and execute tasks more autonomously, with a direct impact on industry, employment and technological ethics.
Digital interaction and augmented experiences
Immersive realities
The future of human interaction relies on spatial computing and the integration of immersive realities. From the fusion of artificial intelligence and digital environments to the creation of hyper-realistic experiences tailored to the user’s emotions, the boundary between the physical and the virtual is blurring. This opens up new opportunities for education, entertainment, work and digital inclusion, but also poses challenges in regulation and digital well-being.
Urbanism and sustainability
Wise cities
The cities of the future will be smarter, more sustainable and resilient.The combination of hyper-connected infrastructures, autonomous mobility and decentralized energy will redefine urban life. In addition, artificial intelligence will make it possible to anticipate climatic phenomena and optimize resource management. The wise city will not only reduce its environmental impact, but also improve the quality of life of its inhabitants thanks to the integration of predictive technologies.
Health & Biotechnology
Precision medicine
Medicine is becoming more personalized than ever. The integration of genomics, artificial intelligence and synthetic biology enables treatments tailored to each individual, anticipating diseases and optimizing therapies. From predictive models to combat cancer to the development of custom-designed proteins, the convergence of data and biotechnology promises to revolutionize human health. However, the privacy and security of medical data will be key challenges in this new paradigm.
Exploration and Earth applications
Space technology for Earth's future
Beyond interplanetary exploration, space technology is transforming life on Earth. Advanced satellite observation optimizes resource management, prevents natural disasters and improves global connectivity. The space economy is growing with initiatives such as reusing satellites, cleaning up space debris and harnessing off-planet solar energy. The new era of NewSpace not only expands our frontiers, but also solves terrestrial challenges.
Connecting the mind to technology
Neurotechnologies
Brain-machine interfaces are breaking down barriers, enabling everything from the recovery of motor functions to mental interaction with digital devices. The fusion of neuroscience and artificial intelligence opens the door to more direct communication between humans and machines, with applications in health, productivity and entertainment. However, access to the mind raises questions about privacy, neuro-rights and data security.
Energy, resources and circular economy
Sustainability for an increasingly populated world
Sustainability of the future will not only focus on reducing the carbon footprint, but on completely transforming resource management. Biomanufacturing, recovery of critical materials and artificial intelligence applied to water and energy optimization will be key to a more resilient economy. At the same time, nuclear fusion and decentralized energy grids will redefine energy consumption.
Education and new skills
Innovative talent
Traditional education model gives way to a more personalized learning, based on artificial intelligence, immersive experiences and digital tutors. Technology will optimize education by adapting it to each student in real time, preparing new generations for a changing world of work. However, the education of the future will have to balance the development of human skills with the mastery of technological tools.
Cybersecurity & privacy
New digital security paradigms
Digitalization is advancing and, with it, the risks. From the protection of brain-machine interfaces to security in immersive environments, cybersecurity must adapt to an increasingly interconnected world. Quantum cryptography and digital identity decentralization will be key to mitigating threats such as deepfakes or personal data theft. Cybersecurity education and regulation will be essential to ensure a secure digital future.
Next-generation computing and semiconductors
Quantum breakthroughs
Quantum computing is at a turning point: the development of more stable chips, error correction and integration with artificial intelligence are bringing its industrial application closer. Advanced quantitative models are already transforming sectors such as chemistry, cryptography and financial forecasting. However, its scalability will depend on progress in semiconductors and on the preparation of the talent needed to develop and apply it on a large scale.
