The top 10 technologies to make the list are:Īs nations race to deliver on their commitments to tackle climate change, a multitude of technologies that offer lower-carbon footprint solutions, or suck carbon dioxide out of the air, will need to scale up fast. These inspiring and actionable ideas confront some of the most urgent challenges of our time, including climate, health, agriculture and communication.” said Laura Helmuth, Editor-in-Chief at the Scientific American. “We’re delighted to present this collection of ambitious, potentially transformative technologies. Only time will tell if this year’s top 10 emerging technologies will transform lives or be displaced as more urgent needs arise. Many of the predictions were proven correct, while others did not come to fruition. Over the past nine years, experts have made predictions about the emerging technologies expected to have major social, economic and environmental impacts worldwide. In addition to promising major benefits to societies and economies, they must also be disruptive, attractive to investors and researchers, and expected to have achieved considerable scale within five years. The technologies on the 10th anniversary list, curated by experts convened by the World Economic Forum and Scientific American, are selected against several criteria.
“Every single technology has the potential to solve major global challenges.” “Our goal with the list is always to identify those with the greatest potential for impact, but we also want to provide a diverse and inspirational list,” said Jeremy Jurgen, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum. This year’s emerging technologies demonstrate the rapid pace of human innovation and offer a glimpse into what a more sustainable, healthier future could look like. From climate change to public health, technology will play a critical role in finding solutions to many of the world’s challenges.
Francesc Reventos from the Technical University of Catalonia and panelists were Robert Boire from L-3 MAPPS, Pablo Rey from Tecnatom, Oussama Ashy from WSC and Chris Allison from ISS.īased on all the feedback forms we received, it seems there was a real need for a platform like this in Europe and has given us something to build on the 2nd edition of this unique event.įor more information on how to join us in Barcelona please go to our website or contact us via e-mail at One of our executives will contact you as soon as possible to go through any doubts.The World Economic Forum announced today its annual list of breakthrough technologies with the most significant potential to impact the world positively. Form this first forum we woulkd like to highlight a very impressive and interactive panel discussion about Severe Accident Simulation chaired by Prof. Our previous event gathered presentations and interactive panel discussions from key organizations in the industry (L-3 MAPPS, Tecnatom, Western Services Corporation, Corys T.E.S.S., ISS), utilities (EDF, EDF Energy), research institutes (IRSN, University of Pisa, Technical University of Catalonia), the IAEA and more.
This event will give an excellent opportunity for networking, benchmarking and business development with industry peers, contractors, vendors, suppliers and regulators. The event will bring together those who are involved with simulators, training personnel, training managers, operation support managers and anyone with an interest in nuclear power plant simulators or those who develop or use simulation tools for nuclear power plants. The latest technologies, projects, codes, 3D visualization and simulation, strategies and focus points for the present and future will be presented and demonstrated by an excellent speaker line-up.
It is the only business conference in Europe for the nuclear industry with the focus on simulators.Įxperts in the simulator industry (vendors, utilities, regulators and research institutes) will join us in Barcelona for two days to discuss the latest developments in the industry. The only business conference in Europe for the nuclear industry with the focus on simulatorsĪfter extensive research, feedback and updated developments from key professionals in the simulator industry we are very pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the European Nuclear Power Plant Simulation Forum in the beautiful city of Barcelona 8th & 9th October 2013.
