With “Global Tech Trends”, Innovation Centre Denmark has gathered the most important technology trends within green transition, life science and technology and compiled them in the report series “Global Tech Trends 2024”

The reports give Danish companies and knowledge institutions exclusive insights into some of the world’s leading technology trends. From Longevity and AI in healthcare to quantum communication and space technologies.

“The Trends reports provide unique insights from the foremost ecosystems across the globe. It’s not just about presenting technologies, but also providing insights into what role the given trend plays locally and how it can be used in a Danish context – both for business and research,” says Christian Hedegaard, Communication Manager for Innovation Centre Denmark HQ.

The Global Tech Trends is a collection of seven short reports highlighting some of the most significant emerging tech trends from Bangalore, Boston, Munich, Tel Aviv, Seoul, Shanghai, and Silicon Valley.

Each report offers an introduction, an evaluation of the potential impact, and a brief analysis of how the local innovation ecosystem aligns with Danish stakeholders’ interests.

“Whether you’re a student entrepreneur or an established researcher, it’s relevant to know the dominant trends in technology. And the research community is an important driver of innovation, so we want to contribute both knowledge and networks to the entire Danish ecosystem,” says Christian Hedegaard.

Later in 2024, the Global Tech Trends podcast series will dive even deeper and cover the most exciting aspects of the seven Global Tech Trends. The reports are published for the second year in a row in collaboration between TechSavvy.Media and Innovation Center Denmark.

Innovation Centre Denmark is a partnership between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science; thereby combining the Foreign Service’s diplomatic setup and insight into geopolitical developments with a deep knowledge about Danish science and innovation.


Boston: AI in Health

Across the globe, health systems are under pressure from shifting demographics, a growing burden of chronic diseases, as well as staff burnout and shortages. Hospital leaders, investors, and governments are looking for solutions based on artificial intelligence to address staff shortages, improve access, and drive better health outcomes.

Munich: Space technology

With the launch of the Ariane 6 rocket, Europe is setting the tone for more innovation and independence in the aerospace sector. Germany, in particular, has contributed to this success with a wide range of innovative technology. With a focus on advancing private sector initiatives in the areas of environmental protection, defence and digitalisation, Germany will expand its position for international cooperation and innovation in the near future.

Silicon Valley: Longevity

Health tech trends center on extending health span. Not only through combating diseases but by viewing the progression of old age as potentially curable. This shift is notable in Silicon Valley, where groundbreaking technologies and treatment systems are beginning to reshape the healthcare landscape.

Seoul: Quantum Communication

As part of the digital transformation, the increased frequency of cyberattacks and mega-hacks are pushing governments and businesses to look for new ways to ensure more secure ways of transmitting information. This is also evident in South Korea, which is at the forefront of quantum communication due to the country’s long history as an ICT nation.

Tel Aviv: Applied Artificial Intelligence (AGI)

Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). From automation to autonomy, tech evolves. GitHub Co-pilot, Google Gemini, and ChatGPT pioneer today’s innovation, while Nvidia’s recent acquisitions of Israeli startup Deci and Run:AI point to AI’s Future Journey.

Bangalore: Biosolutions

Recent advancements in biosolutions are transforming the global life sciences sector, driving a new era of innovation and sustainability. India has now emerged as a serious key global player in the areas of biopharmaceuticals, bioagriculture, advanced fermentation technologies and bioservices.

Shanghai: Smart Wearables

With the development of smart wearable devices, more and more patients can monitor and manage their health conditions and intervene in possible health problems at an early stage by wearing such products. A survey in China showed that more than 60% of people aged 55 and above wear wearable devices every day. This means that smart wearable devices may play an important role in the elderly care industry.
