Profound shifts in the global economy are underway, driven by various factors, including demographic changes, climate change, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions. Technology adoption and innovation will accelerate over the next decade as enterprises, governments, and individuals adapt to these new realities. As a result, the world will look very different by 2035, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Against this backdrop, the GlobalData Strategic Intelligence team invites you to attend “Tech in 2035” webinar on Thursday, 9 October 2025, at 4pm BST/11am ET.
During this webinar, the Strategic Intelligence team will examine how key technologies like artificial superintelligence (ASI), quantum computing, polyfunctional robots, brain-computer interfaces, and space mining will transform people’s lives over the next 10 years, supplementing the recently published Tech in 2035 report.
Xander Hartley, Associate Analyst, Strategic Intelligence at GlobalData, says: “ASI will be this century’s most significant technological breakthrough, with the potential to solve many of the world’s biggest and most enduring problems, such as climate change, poverty, pandemics, war, and resource scarcity. While it remains a purely hypothetical technology, billions of dollars have already been invested in companies like Safe Superintelligence and Reflection AI, which hope to make it a reality.
“But just as the technology could change the world for the better, there is concern among developers, theorists, and leaders that ASI could wreak havoc on the global economy and political order. If ASI gets into the wrong hands, bad actors could exploit its superhuman capabilities to develop weaponry or carry out cyberattacks. If ASI is to have a positive impact, it must be aligned with our goals and values.”
Archie Sewell, Associate Analyst, Strategic Intelligence at GlobalData, adds: “Within the next decade, quantum computing is expected to accelerate AI, enable ultra-secure communications, revolutionize drug discovery, and solve complex challenges that limit today’s technology. The impact will be as profound as the rise of the internet, and understanding it early will shape businesses of the future.
“Quantum computing is not just faster than classical computing; it completely reinvents our ideas of problem-solving using machines. Over the next decade, quantum systems will tackle problems that classical computers would take thousands of years to complete, from molecular interaction simulations to logistics optimizations on a global scale. Industries like healthcare, energy, and finance will be transformed as quantum computing makes theory a reality.”
