Annual list of transformative, world-changing science

Readers invited to vote for the 11th and meet the editors from 2-2:30 p.m. ET on LinkedIn Live

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MIT Technology Review has announced its 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2023, featuring advances its reporters and editors predict will fundamentally change the way we live and work. The 22nd annual list recognizes important technological advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, climate change, space science, telemedicine, and more. The editorial package in the January/February Innovation issue of MIT Technology Review includes a poll to vote for the 11th breakthrough. The editors will host a conversation on LinkedIn Live today from 2-2:30 p.m. ET.

Mat Honan, editor in chief of MIT Technology Review, said: “Our breakthrough technologies lists are fascinating snapshots of the evolution of big tech innovation breakthroughs. They document the progress we have made in many of the core areas at the intersection of science and engineering. Inclusion is not an endorsement as much as it is a statement about the potential impact of a technology. Some of my favorite picks on the list this year are the ones that inspire a sense of awe and wonder at the scope of human achievement.”

The package’s intro essay, ” 2022′s seismic shift in US tech policy will change how we innovate,” by David Rotman, editor at large, MIT Technology Review, takes a deep dive into how legislation investing hundreds of billions into industry and research and development could reset how we think about governments’ role in the economy.

The 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2023 are:

Amy Nordrum, executive editor of operations, MIT Technology Review, said: “People are excited by technology’s potential and want to understand better how it’s shaping our world. We help our audience spot new technologies as they reach a pivotal moment and see how these advances will change our future (for better or worse). We surveyed a wide range of topics, from medicine to energy to digital technologies, and tapped our staff’s deep expertise to identify emerging technologies ready to make a big impact. We look not just for promising technologies, but ones poised to truly breakthrough into the mainstream and have a real effect on the world.”
