Softtech Publishes the 2025 Technology Report
Technology remains an indispensable force in shaping the future of human life. As this transformation accelerates, it necessitates fresh perspectives and innovative approaches across all sectors, not just technology. In today’s world, understanding technology is no longer optional—it is essential for identifying and shaping the opportunities of tomorrow. The Softtech 2025 Technology Report has been crafted with this vision in mind, offering readers an inspiring roadmap. Enriched by valuable insights from diverse disciplines, this report, a testament to a shared vision, has now been published for the eighth time.
The Softtech 2025 Technology Report, prepared annually with insights from leading experts, has been published, emphasizing the inevitable necessity of understanding technology to identify and shape future opportunities in an era where business and society are undergoing a profound and unprecedented transformation, while offering an inspiring roadmap under the main themes of “Future of Technologies,” “Human and Environment,” and “Future of Sectors and Innovation.”
How will the innovations we call “Future of Technologies” leave a lasting mark on humanity and our planet, and how likely is it that artificial intelligence will reach the point of singularity with the rapid advancement of technology? Can humans become stronger and more intelligent by establishing a symbiotic relationship with artificial intelligence, or can artificial intelligence establish an emotional connection with humans and provide empathic solutions to our problems? How will all these developments influence future technologies, industries, and, most importantly, our nature? The Softtech Technology Report once again aims to shed light on the shaping of the future and the transformative impact of technological advancements.
In the Technology Radar section of the report, visionary insights into the future of technologies are presented, while the profound and far-reaching impact of AI on organisations and the labour market is examined in depth. According to the Technology Radar, 5G technology, AI Professionals, AI Colleagues, Edge AI, and Digital Identities, along with Sustainability and Environmental Applications, will see widespread adoption between 2025-2027. From 2027 to 2030, Organisations Without Employees, 6G, Digital Finance, Sustainable Smart Cities, Biotechnological Manufacturing, and Quantum AI will take centre stage. Between 2030-2040, Everything as a Service, Digital Properties, Virtual Universes, Digital Professional Life, Humanoid AI, and Basic Income applications will become integral components of the evolving digital landscape. Looking further ahead to 2040-2080, Artificial Companies, Augmented Human and Human Lifespan, Digital Reality, and Wearable Invisible Technology solutions will redefine the boundaries of innovation.

“Technology has evolved beyond being merely a tool—it has become a true ‘partner.’”
Reflecting on the Technology Report, our General Manager, M. Bülent Özçengel, remarked: “The year 2024 marked a profound technological transformation, with AI emerging as a driving force in making human life more creative, connected, and accessible. This year, more than ever, we have witnessed AI transcend its role as a mere tool to become a genuine ‘partner’—working in harmony with humans and evolving alongside them. As AI applications push the boundaries of human potential, they are also fostering a new era of collaboration and shared value creation, redefining the way we innovate and shape the future.”
Emphasizing that the Softtech 2025 Technology Report presents bold insights into the future of technology by examining the impact of generative AI across industries and social life, Özçengel continued: “Our goal is for this report to serve as a source of inspiration and bring meaningful value to your life. With this awareness, we remain committed to shaping the future through a responsible, sustainable, and human-centric approach to technology—one that prioritizes ethical values and creates more time for life itself. Leading experts have enriched our report with their invaluable contributions, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone whose dedication and effort made the Softtech 2025 Technology Report possible.”
AI is Driving the Democratization of Technology
According to the report, digital transformation is accelerating exponentially with the widespread adoption of AI. While technological advancements enhance the competitiveness and efficiency of organisations, they also serve as a key driver in reducing inequalities among individuals and societies. Inclusive solutions emerging in this domain are expanding access to healthcare in developing countries and broadening educational opportunities in rural areas, fostering a more equitable landscape. The democratization of technology enables a greater number of people to access innovative tools while reinforcing the growing significance of global collaboration.
Under the category of ‘AI Professionals,’ AI is set to create new professions, significantly increasing the demand for a highly skilled workforce in the near future. Additionally, to maximize the economic value generated by AI, the report highlights the necessity of expanding global internet access to bridge the digital divide and ensure that AI-driven opportunities can be fully realised.
Gen AI and Intelligent Agents to Play a Pivotal Role in Automation and User Experience
The Softtech 2025 Technology Report underscores that Gen AI applications will be at the forefront of digital transformation in the next five years, shaping the technological landscape with unprecedented advancements. Simultaneously, the report presents a vision of a more distant future where biotechnology and cyber technologies augment human cognitive and physical capabilities, expanding the limits of human potential.
On one hand, Generative AI-driven intelligent agents are revolutionizing customer experience by elevating personalisation and satisfaction, ultimately transforming it into a truly human-centric interaction. On the other hand, they are catalyzing breakthroughs in critical fields, from accelerating diagnoses in healthcare to enhancing learning experiences in education and driving efficiency gains across the business world.
Managing AI-Driven Cybersecurity Risks is Imperative
The lack of transparency in deep learning models makes it increasingly difficult to understand how these technologies operate, while also complicating the ability to trace and correct erroneous decisions. In fact, within just a few years, ‘Disinformation Security’ is expected to become an integral part of corporate responsibilities.
Cybersecurity threats are expected to become increasingly sophisticated and challenging for both corporations and governments on a global scale. From banking and financial systems to the defense industry, the urgent need to strengthen cybersecurity measures to protect data is becoming increasingly evident.
The 2025 Technology Report is presented to all readers as a resource that not only sheds light on these critical issues but also serves as a long-term reference point for years to come.
