Tech Innovation in 2025: Themes and Technologies to Monitor

Emerging technology trends can shift rapidly over the course of a year, and this was truer than ever in 2024. While policy spurred the deployment of many sustainable technologies, startups are finding a tough fundraising environment as interest rates rose throughout the year. Sifting through breakthrough developments, new and failed companies, partnerships, technology trends, policy announcements, and everything in between is critical to managing an innovation portfolio.  

As we look toward 2025, innovation is shaped by the need for pragmatic adaption and near-term impact. In an era of geopolitical uncertainty, shifting policies, and evolving economic priorities, companies across industries are refocusing their innovation efforts on operational efficiency, resilience, and scalable solutions. This webinar examines these developments and trends across Lux’s industry verticals — including oil and gas, utilities, consumer packaged goods, chemicals, and industrials — to pull out common themes and insights that will inform your priorities and hone your decision-making in 2025.
