Trends to bet on for this decade

With the early years of the decade floating past the toughest waters(hopefully), there seems to be emerging a relatively clearer picture on the things that will be shaping the rest of this decade.

The U.S.-China competition 

The Russian Aggression

Wealth Transfer to a newer generation in the West

Birth rates declining below replacement level across most of the developed world

Increasing immigration rates into the developed world from the developing world

Rise of artificial intelligence

What other trends do you see emerging that will dominate this decade?

And how do you plan to capitalize on those trends?
