Technologies Are Converging

In this week’s episode, we are featuring another segment from our Big Ideas Summit 2022. Click here to view the entire presentation, including the section referenced in this episode. In this segment, Brett Winton, ARK’s Director of Research, discusses how our five innovation platforms of artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain technology, energy storage, and DNA sequencing are converging, and what impact this convergence might have on how quickly each platform evolves in the future. On today’s episode, you’ll hear the composite forecast of the 14 technologies that ARK focuses on and the aggregate market cap appreciation that ARK anticipates accruing across each. Brett offers his take on the future of Robotaxis, reusable rockets, genomics, public blockchain, and digital wallets, among other things. To hear ARK’s predictions on what will be some of the most economically productivity-generating innovations of all time, tune in today!

“If half of market cap is going to be attributed to innovation then from allocation perspective, you’re better off being in front of that wave than waiting for it to occur.” — @wintonARK Key Points from this Episode
