Predicting Emerging Technologies
Predicting Emerging Technologies
In 2013, the World Economic Forum predicted 3D printing as a 'Top 10 Emerging Technology' that would change science and business in 5-10 years. However, back in 2007, Gartner predicted the technology as on the rise. Clearly the WEF and Gartner were correct as the 3D printing industry was valued at billions of dollars.

Predicting Emerging Technologies
The goal of the project was to determine how one could use data and metrics to predict emerging technologies. Traditionally, they are predicted using think tanks of industry specialists and leaders. An emerging technology must be scalable, novel, disruptive, and applicable.

Trends, Patent Claims, and News
Research determined four important factors are patents, research articles, Google News Trends, and Google Web Search Trends. By searching through the new patent claims, research articles, and Google Trends for 3D printing every year, the increases every year were clear indicators leading up to the year 3D printing was predicted.
Venture Capital Funding

Venture capital funding is another metric that can determine the success of an industry. Unfortunately, VC funding data is much more difficult to obtain, and this graphic from Venture Scanner indicates increase in Series A & B funding are good indicators for an emerging technology. Series A & B funding is an indicator the technology has patents filed, research, funding, and competition.
