Opportunities
for Technology
Companies In
2024
1. Inject GenAI into Digital Transformation
Strategies and establish a control tower
GenAI is ushering in a new era of Digital Transformation. Faced
with a balanced of risks and opportunities, tech companies that
are looking to retain or achieve industry leadership in digital
transformation should establish an AI control tower – a dedicated
streering group comprising amix of business unit heads and other
key executives , such as chief digital or data officers. This is to
ensure that AI is deployed in a responsible manner.
GenAI is not the only emerging technology driving new
innovation for tech companies. Edge , cloud and quantum
technologies can also play key roles in digital transformation .
Rather than treating GenAI as an isolated technology, companies
that integrate GenAI into a broader technology transformation will
be better placed to create sustained value .
 2. Experiment with GenAI in targeted front-office
and back-office use cases
Over the past year, the explosive emergence of GenAI has captured the
public’s attention and imagination, and the technology’s ground-breaking
capabilities have inspired tech companies to explore opportunities to inject it
into a slew of front- and back-office functions. While it might be tempting to
leverage GenAI for all potential use cases, companies are likely to be better
served by specifically targeting high-impact, high-value use cases and
transformation opportunities, and by carefully considering where to channel
their early investments, staffing and resources. A good way to start can be to
develop a portfolio of potential opportunities to leverage GenAI or
incorporate it into current efforts.
Tech companies looking to initiate or ramp up their GenAI investments may
target a select handful of front-office use cases that can support profitable
growth without disrupting capital allocation strategies.
Back-office GenAI use cases can also help to boost productivity and cut
costs. In tandem with front-office efforts, companies can use GenAI-powered
content creation to generate value rapidly in areas like information retrieval
and summarization, as well as conversational capabilities. Functions that are
well-suited to this approach include legal, compliance, tax functionality, and
customer success. Further opportunities include optimizing recruitment by
deploying AI tools to attract, onboard, retain and upskill talent.
3. Invest in new forms of digital infrastructure in the burgeoning
“edge economy”

Emerging technologies’ transformative capabilities rely heavily on ultra-

fast data collection and computation. In light of the rapid advance of AI,
the proliferation of use cases requiring ultra-fast processing “at the edge”
and continual shifts in regulation, it’s imperative that tech companies
optimize their investments in digital infrastructure to support reliable
connectivity and rapid compute capabilities.
New types of digital infrastructure — especially ubiquitous, high-speed
connectivity and low-latency computing — are foundational
requirements for a wide range of new opportunities. While tech
companies can benefit from harnessing these capabilities, they must be
careful to avoid overspending on infrastructure that’s not fit-for-purpose.
As the “edge economy” gains pace and scale, companies that manage to
balance the competing objectives of activating next-generation digital
infrastructure and staying within increasingly tight capital constraints
will stand to win out.
4. Establish additional supply lines in emerging
markets
The risk of supply chain decoupling is still very real for the more hardware-focused tech
companies. As a result, a race is underway in subsectors such as semiconductors to realign
supply chains in ways that avoid the impacts of geopolitical disruptions. An example is
building advanced manufacturing capabilities in the US, which could mitigate some of the
risks related to Taiwan. However, advanced manufacturing is only one step in an extended
ecosystem of interrelated activities that are all essential in building a working chip. And
while other countries are also building up their manufacturing capabilities, tensions could
flare up around many other activities, ranging from key commodities, like gallium and
germanium, to mission-critical manufacturing tools, design software, or packaging and
testing services.
In the 2023 EY Global Board Risk Survey, geopolitical events and supply chain disruption
were identified as two out of the three most prominent risks on the agenda of company
boards. Against this backdrop, we’re seeing a growing move by chip companies to create
operations in emerging markets, including India and ASEAN countries, such as Singapore,
Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. This reflects a clear opportunity to diversify and
expand their operations away from geographies exposed to trade conflicts, usually starting
with activities like packaging and testing, with more advanced processes following later,
including wafer fabs and advanced packaging. For companies that serve customers around
the globe, in both Mainland China and the West, diversifying or establishing a secondary
supply chain is a good way to reduce future risks of trade disruptions. And while
investments in India and ASEAN countries are currently on the rise, other regions will also
try to get in on the act by attracting tech companies’ operations.

5. Shape corporate investment strategy around the AI roadmap

Usage of AI and LLMs is taking off rapidly but joining this race may not be straightforward. Why? For one thing,
demand for hardware is outpacing supply, leading to high prices and limited availability. For another, training
LLMs is time-consuming and expensive, and requires very large data sets that may not be easily accessible.
What’s more, customizing and deploying these services require scarce skills and talent. All of these issues arise
when a tech company faces a buy-or-build decision around new service development and speed to market. Past
experience shows that acquisitions and deals can help to speed up development. However, the regulatory hurdles
for deals in AI are relatively high for two reasons. First, the general clampdown on anti-competitive behavior in
the sector means that deals — especially large ones — will attract greater scrutiny. Second, geopolitical tensions
and international trade disputes are creating barriers to dealmaking, notably in subsectors like semiconductors
and AI. Cross-border AI deals that require review and approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States (CFIUS), the European Parliament Committee on International Trade (INTA) or similar bodies will
be harder to bring to a close. That said, the potential for deals will still exist, given that the platform nature of
modern tech businesses means that there will be many nimble, attractive companies with business models based
on existing AI ecosystems.

Therefore, we believe that the optimal way to expand in AI is through a mix of small- to medium-sized
acquisitions, corporate investments and partnerships. The acquisitions will help companies access intellectual
property and the talent and skills needed to develop new propositions quickly. The corporate investments will
help with “long shots” in new technologies, developing different roadmaps to future applications that may not
seem feasible today, and the partnerships will deliver immediate access to data sets, services and markets needed
to pursue new opportunities
6. Harness platform business models to industrialize and scale advancing technologies

Platform business models have become the standard operating procedure across the tech
sector. By using platform strategies to engage with customers and sell their products and services,
companies across all subsectors have found that they can increase scale, tap into external capacity and
networks, and capitalize on emerging market opportunities. At the same time, the multiparty
ecosystems at the core of platform strategies support more effective value creation and mutually
beneficial collaboration between companies, even competitors. More than half of tech companies
believe that their platform model will help them increase proximity to, and engagement with, their
customers and increase their revenue and profits according to the 2023
EY Platform Economy Transformation Study.
Platform business models are also central to the GenAI revolution. Tech companies are both
going to market with GenAI platforms and integrating externally developed GenAI capabilities into
their internal operations. LLM developers are using platform models to support their offerings’
widespread use and ongoing improvement. Hardware and semiconductor manufacturers are forming
platform partnerships and ecosystems to build and deploy the infrastructure needed for widescale use
of GenAI. And companies at the forefront of enterprises’ use of GenAI, including internal intelligent
assistants, are revamping their platform strategies to deliver these capabilities safely and effectively to
their users.
As such examples underline, the tech sector is going through a period of transition and
reinvention. During it, companies that take a purpose-driven approach to accelerating the
implementation or evolution of their platform business model, including their data strategy, will be
best positioned to capture value. Going forward, as AI triggers new upheavals and opportunities
across the industry and companies race for market share and influence, the ability to deploy a robust
and diversified platform will be a key attribute differentiating the winners.
7. Establish proactive and holistic responses to new and forthcoming tax burdens

The global tax system in place from January 1, 2024, will have significant layers of
complexity — and the impacts for tech companies will extend far beyond their tax
departments. Those players who think proactively and act thoroughly and holistically today
to optimize their tax profiles will gain a head start over their competitors who are slower to
respond.
The incoming tax changes are significant because the OECD’s BEPS 2.0 Pillar 2
will impact tech companies in multiple ways. These include, but are not limited to, an
increased global cash tax burden, colocation of talent and functional assets in the supply
chain, ESG strategies across the supply chain, and cost and resource commitments
associated with global minimum tax compliance. Indeed, the introduction of the minimum
global tax provisions represents arguably the largest and most disruptive shift in the
regulatory environment for generations.
Tech companies with a global footprint, cross-jurisdiction platform strategy,
distributed user base and complex supply chain stand to benefit particularly from thorough
and thoughtful preparation for the changes. Being proactive in assessing and responding to
the new requirements will be vital in weathering the storm and minimizing disruption to
their business. The new global minimum income tax rate is 15%, beginning in 2024: large
technology companies have the opportunity to structure their global supply chains and
support operations in such a way as to achieve 15% in the jurisdictions in which they operate
and, as a result, free up working capital to invest in their business.

9. Invest in advanced risk tools and revisit trade-
offs between costs, risks, resiliency and agility
With this in mind, tech companies are eager to improve their ability to
address emerging risks — a task given greater urgency by the lengthening roll call
of emerging risks facing the sector. Trade disputes, geopolitical conflicts, taxation
and legislative changes, government interventions, cybercrime and data
protection regulations all present risks that are especially relevant to the sector,
on top of more general risks, such as climate events, financial risks, the next
pandemic and keeping pace with innovation by competitors. Also, the global,
integrated nature of tech supply chains means that a single disruption can have
knock-on effects across the entire value chain.
Individually, these risks can be monitored and managed through data
collection and analysis — and even more effectively when enhanced with AI.
However, a number of risks could strike simultaneously or influence each other.
This possibility means that advanced risk assessment and scenario planning are
vital in determining a tech company’s exposure to combinations of, say, trade
sanctions, climate events, regional instability, increased regulation and supply
chain shortages. Equipped with insights across these risk categories, companies
should review their risk appetite and revisit how they manage the complex trade-
offs between costs, risks, resiliency and agility. When the next black swan hits,
companies that invest today in advanced risk tools will be glad they did.
10. Deploy advanced technology to reduce current and future
cyber risks
By investing in quantum communications and post-quantum
cryptography — and talent capable of developing and deploying these
technologies — companies can prepare for a near future in which traditional
encryption is no longer enough. Just as malicious actors using quantum
computing will be able to penetrate outdated security systems quickly and easily,
so companies using quantum technologies to defend themselves will be better
able to fend off attacks.
GenAI also has a role to play. Today, tech companies can use GenAI to
clarify their business processes, better understand their operations, and
accurately classify and label their data and systems. This benefits their cyber
defenses because unclassified data systems, unlabeled enterprise data and
technical debt — outdated code and tech stacks — are three key vulnerabilities
that cyber attackers can exploit. Using traditional methods to reduce the
complexity and opaqueness of back-office data systems and processes would be
costly and time-intensive. Tackling these drivers of cyber risk in an automated
way through GenAI can mitigate cyber risks faster, more comprehensively and at
a lower cost.

 • Formerly a new technology trend to watch, cloud computing has become
mainstream, with major players AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure and
Google Cloud Platformdominating the market. The adoption of cloud computing is
still growing, as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution. But it’s no
longer the emerging technology trend. Edge is.
• As the quantity of data organizations is dealing with continues to increase, they have
realized the shortcomings of cloud computing in some situations. Edge computing is
designed to help solve some of those problems as a way to bypass the latency caused
by cloud computing and getting data to a data center for processing. It can exist “on

12. Edge the edge,” if you will, closer to where computing needs to happen. For this reason,
edge computing can be used to process time-sensitive data in remote locations with
limited or no connectivity to a centralized location. In those situations, edge

Computing computing can act like mini datacenters.

• Keeping in line with cloud computing (including new-age edge and quantum
computing) will help you grab amazing jobs like:
• Cloud Reliability Engineer
• Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
• Cloud Architect and Security Architect
• DevOps Cloud Engineer
 • The next remarkable technology trend is quantum computing, which is a
form of computing that takes advantage of quantum phenomena like
superposition and quantum entanglement. This amazing technology trend is
also involved in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, and to develop
potential vaccines, thanks to its ability to easily query, monitor, analyze and
act on data, regardless of the source. Another field where quantum computing
is finding applications is banking and finance, to manage credit risk, for high-
frequency trading and fraud detection.

13. Quantum • Quantum computers are now a multitude times faster than regular computers
and huge brands like Splunk, Honeywell, Microsoft, AWS, Google and many

Computing others are now involved in making innovations in the field of Quantum
Computing. The revenues for the global quantum computing market are
projected to surpass $2.5 billion by 2029. And to make a mark in this new
trending technology, you need to have experience with quantum mechanics,
linear algebra, probability, information theory, and machine learning.
14. Virtual Reality and
Augmented Reality
• The next exceptional technology trend - Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented
Reality (AR), and Extended Reality (ER). VR immerses the user in an
environment while AR enhances their environment. Although this technology
trend has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for
training, as with VirtualShip, a simulation software used to train U.S. Navy,
Army and Coast Guard ship captains.
• In 2024, we can expect these forms of technologies being further integrated into
our lives. Usually working in tandem with some of the other emerging
technologies we’ve mentioned in this list, AR and VR have enormous potential
in training, entertainment, education, marketing, and even rehabilitation after an
injury. Either could be used to train doctors to do surgery, offer museum goers a
deeper experience, enhance theme parks, or even enhance marketing, as with
this Pepsi Max bus shelter.
• While some employers might look for optics as a skill-set, note that getting
started in VR doesn’t require a lot of specialized knowledge - basic
programming skills and a forward-thinking mindset can land a job; another
reason why this new technology trend should make up to your list of lookouts!
15. Blockchain
• Although most people think of blockchain technology in relation to cryptocurrencies such as
Bitcoin, blockchain offers security that is useful in many other ways. In simplest terms,
blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from, or change.
Hence the term “chain” because you’re making a chain of data. Not being able to change the
previous blocks is what makes it so secure. In addition, blockchains are consensus-driven, so
no one entity can take control of the data. With blockchain, you don’t need a trusted third
party to oversee or validate transactions.
• Several industries are involving and implementing blockchain, and as blockchain
technology's use increases, so does the demand for skilled professionals. From a birds eye
view, a blockchain developer specializes in developing and implementing architecture and
solutions using blockchain technology.
• If you are intrigued by Blockchain and its applications and want to make your career in this
trending technology, then this is the right time to start. To get into Blockchain, you need
hands-on experience in programming languages, OOPS fundamentals, flat and relational
databases, data structures, web app development, and networking. Mastering blockchain can
help you scale up in a variety of fields and industries:
• Risk Analyst
• Tech Architect
• Crypto Community Manager
• Front End Engineer
 • Another promising new technology trend is IoT. Many “things” are now being
built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and
to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The Internet of Things is the
future, and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars and much more to
be connected to and exchange data over the Internet.
• As consumers, we’re already using and benefitting from IoT. We can lock our
doors remotely if we forget to when we leave for work and preheat our ovens on

16. Internet of our way home from work, all while tracking our fitness on our Fitbits. However,
businesses also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable
better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected

Things (IoT) and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care,
improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.
• And we’re only in the beginning stages of this new technology trend: Forecasts
suggest that by 2030 around 50 billion of these IoT devices will be in use around
the world, creating a massive web of interconnected devices spanning everything
from smartphones to kitchen appliances. And if you wish to step foot in this
trending technology, you will have to learn about Information security, AI and
machine learning fundamentals, networking, hardware interfacing, data analytics,
automation, understanding of embedded systems, and must have device and
design knowledge.
 17. 5G
• The next technology trend that follows the IoT is 5G. Where
3G and 4G technologies have enabled us to browse the
internet, use data-driven services, increased bandwidths for
streaming on Spotify or YouTube and so much more, 5G
services are expected to revolutionize our lives. By enabling
services that rely on advanced technologies like AR and VR,
alongside cloud-based gaming services like Google Stadia,
NVidia GeForce Now and much more. It is expected to be
used in factories, HD cameras that help improve safety and
traffic management, smart grid control and smart retail too.
• Just about every telecom company like Verizon, Tmobile,
Apple, Nokia Corp, QualComm, are now working on creating
5G applications. 5G Network subscriptions will reach
4.4 billion by the end of 2027, making it an emerging
technology trend you must watch out for, and also save a spot
in.
 18. Cyber Security
• Cyber security might not seem like an emerging new technology
trend, given that it has been around for a while, but it is evolving just
as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are
constantly new. The malevolent hackers trying to access data
illegally will not give up any time soon, and they will continue to
find ways to get through even the toughest security measures. It’s
