The 2026 report on the Top 10 Emerging Technologies, co-published by the World Economic Forum and Frontiers, signals a major transition in global innovation.
由世界經濟論壇與前沿組織聯合發布的《2026年十大新興技術報告》指出,全球創新正經歷一場重大轉變。
While previous years were dominated by software and generative AI, the current focus has shifted toward physical systems that power our economy, including medicine, energy, and infrastructure.
過往年份以軟體及生成式人工智慧為主導,而當前的焦點已轉向驅動經濟的實體系統,包括醫療、能源及基礎建設。
This movement, often described as the 'physical-digital blur,' highlights how innovation is actively reshaping factories, power grids, and hospitals.
這種常被描述為「物理與數位模糊化」的趨勢,凸顯了創新如何積極重塑工廠、電網與醫院。
From Everything-to-grid energy—which turns buildings and vehicles into power storage units—to personalized mRNA cancer vaccines that target individual tumor cells, these technologies are moving from research labs into real-world applications.
從將建築物與車輛轉化為儲能裝置的「萬物入網」能源技術,到針對個體腫瘤細胞的個人化mRNA癌症疫苗,這些技術正從研究實驗室走向現實應用。
Other breakthroughs, like PFAS destruction to clean water supplies and direct lithium extraction for better batteries, emphasize efficiency and environmental sustainability.
其他突破性技術,如用於淨化供水的PFAS破壞技術,以及用於提升電池性能的直接鋰萃取技術,則強調了效率與環境永續性。
The selection of these ten technologies, ranging from quantum simulation to lattice-based cryptography, is based on their potential to reach commercial scale within the next few years.
這十項技術的入選,範圍從量子模擬到基於格點的密碼學,皆基於它們在未來幾年內達到商業規模的潛力。
As these innovations move toward society, the report notes that success depends on infrastructure, public policy, and maintaining trust, ultimately promising a future where technology delivers more efficient, decentralized, and personalized solutions for everyone.
報告指出,隨著這些創新走向社會,其成功與否取決於基礎設施、公共政策及維護公眾信任,最終有望帶來一個技術更高效、去中心化且更具個人化解決方案的未來。
