Our top five tech trends of 2025
and their three founding principles

Executive Summary

It’s that time of year again. Tech sector gurus are competing to identify the trends that will dominate in 2025.

At Capgemini, our deep understanding of technology, coupled with decades of experience as a strategic and transformation partner to our clients around the world, puts us in a unique position to predict the most impactful trends in 2025.

A key theme underlying our predictions is that AI and generative AI (Gen AI) are driving forces. This view is shared by industry executives around the world and the investor professionals from venture capital and private equity. We also anticipate that AI/Gen AI will drive significant growth in other key technologies.

Three principles driving our five trends:

AI-powered everything: AI (such as AI agents, and AI-powered robotics), or a second-order effect of the surge in AI (e.g., the resurgence of nuclear energy), drive most of our trends.

Convergence and cross-disciplinary impact: These trends lie at the intersection of major technological breakthroughs and, therefore, have cross-disciplinary impact.

Sustainability and innovation: Sustainability lies at the heart of current innovation.

An introduction by Pascal Brier
Group Chief Innovation Officer

Last year, Capgemini’s Top 5 Tech Trends predicted the emergence of smaller Gen AI language models and AI agents, both of which came to fruition. We also signaled the importance of post-quantum cryptography, which was confirmed by the publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s last summer. And, as anticipated, semiconductors have been the center of attention in 2024 with significant evolution driven by the massive use of AI and Gen AI, as well as shifts in market dynamics.

In 2025, we see AI and Gen AI having a major impact on companies’ priorities and also on many adjacent technology domains, such as robotics, supply chains, or tomorrow’s energy mix.”
