Future Tech Vision 2025 Project | explainer video made with ngram

About the video

This explainer video was made with ngram to summarize the findings of McKinsey's fifth annual Technology Trends Outlook report. The video opens on the pressure executives face as AI accelerates complexity across computing demand and global competition, framing the central question as where to focus investment rather than whether to act. It highlights AI as an amplifier of every other trend, citing a 985% year-over-year increase in agentic AI job postings and $124 billion in total AI equity investment in 2024. The narration explains that the report analyzes patents, research, equity investment, and talent trends across 13 technology categories, spanning agentic AI to quantum technologies and the future of energy. It positions these insights as a way for organizations to identify high-impact domains, direct talent and infrastructure investment, and position themselves ahead of the next wave of transformation. The video closes with a call to download the full report to see which of the 13 frontier technologies matter most for a given business in 2025.
