Technology Convergence: The New Logic for Competitive Advantage

Summary
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has presented a new working paper on how countries can secure technological leadership. The decisive factor for competitiveness is no longer the adoption of individual technologies, but the ability to integrate them into a unified operating system. The interaction between different technological domains is transforming value chains and creating new markets. Unlocking this potential requires synchronized development of human capital, digital and physical infrastructure, as well as adaptation of the regulatory environment. Without a comprehensive approach, technological convergence remains limited to individual projects and does not translate into a sustainable competitive advantage.
