Capgemini Identifies the 5 Key Technology Trends for 2025

Capgemini has released its annual report TechnoVision: Top Tech Trends for 2025, highlighting advancements that will mark a turning point in the upcoming year. With a focus on generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), the report anticipates a significant impact in key sectors such as cybersecurity, robotics, supply chains, and energy.

1. Generative AI: From Copilots to Autonomous Agents

Generative artificial intelligence is evolving toward interconnected agent systems that operate autonomously. According to a survey conducted by Capgemini Research Institute, 32% of top executives identify AI agents as the leading trend in data and artificial intelligence for 2025. These systems will be able to manage supply chains and predictive maintenance with minimal human oversight, establishing the foundation for AI ecosystems across various industries.

Why it matters: The advancement of transformative models and Gen AI architectures opens new possibilities for decision-making in dynamic environments, particularly in sectors like healthcare, finance, and law.

2. Cybersecurity: New Defenses Against New Threats

The rise of AI is also transforming cybersecurity, both in defense and attack. The report highlights that 97% of organizations have faced security breaches related to the use of generative AI. Companies are investing in post-quantum encryption algorithms and automated threat detection to protect increasingly autonomous systems.

Why it matters: By 2025, AI-enhanced cyberattacks will be more sophisticated and frequent. Trust in AI systems will depend not only on their technical security but also on users’ perception of safety.

3. AI-Powered Robotics: Redefining Human-Machine Collaboration

Robotics has made a leap with the integration of generative AI, advancing towards collaborative robots (cobots) and humanoids that can adapt and learn. 43% of venture capitalists identify AI-driven automation and robotics as one of the top three tech trends for 2025.

Why it matters: The ability of robots to take on complex tasks in manufacturing, logistics, and agriculture will transform the labor dynamic, promoting efficiency and innovation.

4. Nuclear Energy: AI at the Heart of the Energy Transition

The increasing energy demand from technologies like AI is driving the resurgence of nuclear energy. In 2025, small modular reactors (SMRs) and advances in nuclear fusion will be in the spotlight, due to their potential to provide clean and sustainable energy.

Why it matters: Major tech companies are betting on nuclear energy to meet their energy needs, recognizing that renewables alone are insufficient to support growing demand.

5. Next-Generation Supply Chains

The integration of technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and terrestrial satellite networks is revolutionizing supply chains, enhancing their sustainability and resilience. 37% of executives cite these innovations as the key trend in industry and engineering for the coming year.

Why it matters: With new regulations like the EU Digital Product Passport, companies will need to track and disclose the environmental impact of their products, adopting more sustainable practices.

Beyond 2025: Long-Term Perspectives

The report also addresses emerging technologies like quantum computing and artificial general intelligence (AGI), which could redefine the tech landscape in the next five years. Capgemini anticipates advancements in synthetic biology, genomic therapies, and AI-driven protein design.
