Technology Convergence Report 2025

The future lies in bold combinations. Companies that strategically combine technologies at different stages of maturity are positioned to gain, especially as cross-industry value chains give rise to entirely new product categories and business models. By applying the 3C lens, organizations can start identifying the technology pairings that align with their core capabilities, recognizing when shifts in maturity create new market openings, and investing strategically to unlock value as convergence accelerates.
