In this inaugural post, we showcase what has changed in our research process and why. We introduce a revised methodology for categorizing technologies, we present the Stories, our new editorial content, as well as some additional exciting features of the platform. We will also explain how you can use the techDetector, and how you can collaborate with us. 

Welcome to the techDetector Platform

Hyperlinked Supply Chain

What happens to supply chains if we digitally replicate all physical objects within its entire ecosystem? What is more, what if we create a digital replica of the whole world? One that can trace and monitor global activity in real-time and simulate events before they even happen?  

Tracing Infrastructure

Artificial Intelligence

A machine-based software intelligence capable of evolving autonomously as more data is added into its algorithmic structure. In short, Artificial Intelligence is founded on the principles of constantly learning while trying to draw solutions based on logical and numerical conclusions.

Adapting to Climate Change

With the Paris Agreement of 2015, the international community has made a binding commitment for the first time to reduce global warming to well below two degrees or even to 1.5 degrees, if possible. However, climate change is already taking place, so people, ecosystems, infrastructure, investments, etc. need to be adapted to the consequences. GIZ supports partner countries in increasing their adaptation capacity and resilience.

Our proprietary methodology is a research standard designed to analyze and classify emerging technologies, containing a series of metrics and criteria created to keep track of the latest technological developments.

Emergency Responder

Software-based real-time information platform that cooperatively exchanges data between citizens, organizations, and governments, helping to reduce reaction time and improve the effectiveness of emergency operations.

Emergency Citizen Responder

Biotechnology

A technology domain represented by the natural progression of synthesized gene sequence, engineered biochemical pathways and even entire microorganisms.

Future Scenario

From Hype to Hyperlinked: The Supply Chain of Tomorrow

This future scenario explores the role of technology in providing mechanisms for transparency, traceability, and accountability to support sustainable economic development. We consider the hyperlinked supply chain: a symbiotic articulation of digital technologies and tools across a ubiquitous, automated, and predominantly circular supply chain.

Our radar allows navigation between emerging technologies and works as a link to the content within our platform.

A quantitative data analysis that evaluates emerging technologies from 1 to 9 based on their maturation level.

Associated technology applications with TRL higher than or equal to 7. Current applications are at both prototype and product stages and more technically developed compared to Future Applications.

Associated technology applications with TRL lower than or equal to 6. Future applications cover concept, proof-of-concept, validation, and prototype stages and are less technically developed compared to Current Applications.
