Why Use SciVestor

SciVestor is a new breed of research and advisory company. Our expertise is focused on understanding the implications of emergent technologies that have the potential to cause great upheaval to current business, economic and societal models. In particular, we are focused on four major disruptive trends:

Robotics:

SciVestor believes the age of intelligent machines is at hand. From service robots to toys and teachers to companionship to war-fighting, the decade ahead will see a dramatic acceleration in human robot interaction (HRI).

Nanotechnology:

The rise of molecular manufacturing over the next decade portends a transformation across the supply and delivery chains. Traditional manufacturing enterprises could be displaced by distributed fabrication capabilities. Intellectual property rights for brands and designs will rise to the forefront when perfect replicas become commonplace.

Artificial Intelligence:

The software development marketplace is on a steady march to automation of more complex tasks and processes. In the decade ahead, we will see the rise of complex AI capabilities that will take ownership of virtually every repetitive digital task that could be automated. This shift will create significant disruptions in many career roles as well as with outsourcing companies that rely on human capital for efficiencies.

Life Extension:

At the intersection of genetics, biotechnology and Moore’s Law lies the new science of life extension. Over the next decade, we will see medical technologies deliver designer therapies targeting disease and degeneration on an individual basis. By 2015, we estimate that more than 10% of first world medical expenses will be devoted to life extension treatments, and many senior citizens in 2050 will have substantially lengthened, productive lifespans.

Focusing on the Business of Disruptive Technologies:

Our researchers span the divide that separates the established business community from the roiling seas of disruptive technology-enabled advances. Our analysis translates the techno-speak of new concepts and offerings into advice that is understandable by our established clientele.
