We will encounter 9 new ideas for innovation in the near future. Some of the concepts may not look so new, but technology and increased demand will increase interest in them, said Milen Ganev, a partner in the Bulgarian software company E-CARD, which is in the top 50 in Europe. On this occasion, a report of the CITI group was published with the new ideas for innovations and opportunities for rising stock for certain companies.
3D architecture in semiconductors
The manufacturing process of these devices can provide advantages for market leaders. The best choices here are Samsung Electronics, LAM Research and Entegris.
AI monitoring for airlines
Artificial intelligence on your next flight can measure temperature, heart rate, etc. to detect infectious diseases or intoxication. Global network airlines with high international exposure compared to low-cost airlines must be at the forefront. Long-term options include Delta Air Lines and Azul.
Alternative proteins
More and more consumers will switch to alternative meats for health or climate change reasons. Beyond Meat and Kellogg have the most to gain from the growth of alternative meats.
Ammonia propulsion in jet engines
In the race to reduce aviation emissions, ammonia is a cheap and feasible solution. Green ammonia is still a long way off and there are several zero / low emission solutions that can be winners. The future ammonia companies include Yara, CF Holdings, GE and IAG.
Depolymerizing plastics
Advanced chemical recycling systems are seen as a solution to help remove plastic waste from landfills, replacing current mechanical recycling systems. The report sees an opportunity for plastic resin manufacturers such as Dow, LyondellBasell and Arkema.
Direct capture of hydrocarbons from the air
The process, which captures carbon directly from the air, will play a key role in green energy transition strategies and needs government support. The best bets here are for Occidental Petroleum and Aker Carbon Capture.
Metaverse shopping centers
In the future on the internet virtual stores will sell both digital and physical products to consumers who spend their time in both worlds, thanks to smartphones, virtual reality headphones and augmented reality glasses. Facebook and Snap are two ways to play this.
mRNA vaccines
A year ago, the leading technology for vaccines against COVID-19 was considered largely unproven, and now trials are underway to treat several infectious diseases, such as genetic diseases and even cancer. Sanofi Arcturus and Pfizer are among the best bets on this trend.
Indispensable tokens - NFT
Beneficiaries include companies or individuals whose main activity is the sale of content or branded goods that allows the creation, cutting, betting, sharing or trading of NFTs on the secondary market, and service companies that help content creators to orient themselves in this new ecosystem. Beneficiaries include Robinhood, Discovery, Disney, WPP and Publicis.
