The Dubai Future Foundation, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, has released a forward-looking report identifying the “Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2025.” This report highlights scientific and technological breakthroughs expected to fundamentally transform the global landscape in the near future.

Mohammed Al Gergawi, Managing Director of the Dubai Future Foundation, emphasized the critical importance of these advancements. He stated that readiness to integrate these new technologies into the real economy is becoming a key indicator of competitiveness for both nations and companies.

The report outlines the following ten technologies set to make a significant impact:

  1. Green Ammonia Synthesis: Producing ammonia using renewable electricity and electrochemistry, offering a more sustainable method for this crucial chemical.
  2. GLP-1 Drugs: Medications originally developed for diabetes and obesity, now being actively researched for treating neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
  3. Osmotic Power Generation: Harvesting energy from the interaction between saltwater and freshwater, presenting a novel form of renewable energy.
  4. Networked Sensing: Implementing smart sensors across cities, transport systems, and infrastructure that operate cohesively within a unified network.
  5. Nanozymes: Artificial enzymes designed to be cheaper, more durable, and more stable than their natural counterparts, with broad potential applications.
  6. Autonomous Biochemical Sensors: Devices capable of continuously gathering health or environmental data without requiring human intervention.
  7. Advanced Nuclear Technologies: Next-generation nuclear reactors, including compact and inherently safer designs like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
  8. Generative AI Watermarking: Techniques for embedding verifiable watermarks into AI-generated content to combat misinformation and deepfakes.
  9. Living Therapeutic Organisms: Engineered microorganisms designed to produce therapeutic substances directly inside the human body.
  10. Structural Battery Materials: Innovative materials for vehicles and aircraft that simultaneously provide structural support and function as batteries.

This year’s report marks the first use of a novel predictive approach co-developed with the Dubai Future Foundation. It underscores how these specific technologies are anticipated to tackle pressing global challenges – ranging from the fight against climate change and revolutionizing healthcare to establishing effective regulation for artificial intelligence. The focus is firmly on practical solutions with transformative potential.
