  • Data infrastructure opened up an explosion of possibilities after cloud data warehousing became interesting, truly I believe the most future value will be here, we are so nascent in full cloud computing and storage penetration into the enterprise, you wouldn't be able to imagine how much whitespace is left.
  • Robotic process automation will render more jobs obsolete than I think people realize.
  • Enterprise SaaS is just turning the corner of "this used to be done on a spreadsheet and now we have software" so it will be interesting to see where SaaS tools mature over the next decade.
  • Consumer hardware and networking (specifically) is still interesting because we increasingly spend time online and Gen Z develops digital-first relationships (as opposed to Millennials pre-1996 who used social networking as a way to take in-person relationships online) so metaverse technology (in the practical application and not sci-fi sense) will be interesting to see. 
  • Fully open finance (not just open banking) will be remarkable towards enabling automated finance protocols around things like mortgages, other lending, anything you could check credit worthiness against
  • Payments is an interesting space because you not only have people extending payments platforms into SMB but you also have verticalized payments
  • There are still myriad applications of marketplaces (literally just browse tech crunch for half an hour), especially B2B marketplaces, I can think of one for carbon deferral credits as an example
  • Creator / gig economy (don't really think about this a lot but I'd welcome anyone to opine)

Robotic process automation is especially ripe for growth. Would like to add that this will not only effect big industry, but also in home systems as well. CES over the past decade has been "Look at this toilet paper robot" or "Check out this food delivery R2D2", but these types of automations are much closer than people think (although tp robot may not be an everyday item by 2025...who knows).

 

Would like to add, augmented reality. Companies like WayRay are doing really cool things.
