We’ve seen many of the short-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts on supply chains, dramatic changes in the way we work and how business provide services to their customers. Whether it’s the increase in online purchasing, dramatic changes to the demand for consumer internet, increased focus on how to manage health issues on a remote basis or employers dealing with the challenges of how to socially distance their workforce (to mention a few of the challenges facing business) it is clear that we are looking at an ongoing and potentially dramatic change in the TMT sector going forward. So, the question is, what do we think happens next?
We have drawn together a range of experts across the TMT sector to consider 10 key themes and issues and how we might see the industry developing to deal with them over the next 2 – 5 years. Looking at issues such as the upwards trend in online purchasing and service provision, changes to the way we work and interact with each other professionally, new technologies and how they can help us adapt to the ‘new normal’ and developments in existing technology, we have identified some of the most important developments in the TMT industry. As we show in our review of the economic outlook on the TMT sector there are lots of reasons to be hopeful, despite the immediate challenges.
