Industry experts and futurists gather at Keysight World Innovation Cloud Summit to share industry insights

The rapid development of technologies such as quantum computing, digital twins, artificial intelligence, electric and autonomous vehicles, and 5G and 6G has brought endless inspiration and innovation to all walks of life. At this year’s Keysight World Global Innovation Cloud Summit, industry experts and futurists shared their unique insights into technology trends:

Meet the challenge - Accelerate the automotive industry revolution: With the rapid innovation of electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs), the automotive industry revolution is beginning to reshape our world.

But the automotive industry still faces challenges in large-scale charging, charging infrastructure and battery technology advancements that are necessary to improve vehicle range and reduce costs.

• The range anxiety problem of electric vehicles can only be solved if the cruising range of electric vehicles reaches more than 300 miles on a single charge and rapid charging is completed within 10 minutes. Until then, commercial vehicles will still be dominated by fuel vehicles.

• The entire ecosystem needs to adopt common standards to make electric vehicles mainstream in the global market.

• Battery innovations such as silicon anode batteries and solid-state batteries are needed to overcome many application-level barriers.

Accelerate innovation - embrace digital twins and artificial intelligence: Digital twins and artificial intelligence are disruptive technologies that promise to transform the world. Although these technologies are not new, the implementation of practical application cases will demonstrate the changes that digital twins and artificial intelligence technology will cause.

• Digital twin technology will play the role of a virtual caregiver or virtual companion, allowing the elderly to seek help and services when needed, thereby extending the time they can live independently at home.

• Digital twin technology will provide insights that allow humans to understand how decisions impact the world from a sustainable development perspective. By simulating planned changes, humans will be able to anticipate how entire ecosystems will be affected and make adjustments as needed.

• Digital twin technology will change the way diseases are treated. From simulating how a disease spreads to revolutionizing how it is treated and managed, digital twin technology will provide doctors with professional insights to make data-driven decisions, whether for common or severe illnesses.

Seize the opportunity - deploy 5G private networks and start the 6G journey : Global 5G deployment is rapidly promoting and upgrading the digital transformation of all walks of life. 5G private networks will be optimized to meet the specific needs of industrial, medical and other applications where low latency and complete network control are crucial. The 6G era is about to begin.

• The widespread deployment of 5G private networks will provide enterprises with a solid backing to deal with IoT threats, providing major security advantages through enhanced user identity privacy protection, edge computing, encryption and other functions.

• During the epidemic, Zoom has become one of the commonly used tools for holding internal meetings, global events and conferences. If 6G maintains its current development trajectory, remote meetings will be replaced by holographic projection technology. Holographic projection technology will further integrate the real world and the virtual world, allowing enterprises to provide highly personalized interactions anywhere.

Laying a solid foundation - ushering in the new era of quantum technology: In the past few decades, there has been endless discussion around quantum computing and quantum systems. Now the industry is beginning to realize its potential to create new opportunities in areas such as cybersecurity, new materials creation, financial analysis, military receivers, and more.

• Proactive companies will begin to invest in the quantum field and cultivate quantum technology talents among the next generation of young people through cooperation with universities and conducting hackathons and other projects. This will further promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and increase employee diversity in the tech industry, which is sorely needed in the workplace.

• Recent research results show that 74% of companies believe that if they do not implement quantum technology, their development will fall behind. It can be seen that companies have begun to realize that quantum technology is a forward-looking technology and use it to solve key challenges such as financial resources and business operations. True enterprise-grade quantum computing applications will be developed by 2026 (or even earlier).
