The following are the top ICT (information and communication technology) trends for 2025:
1. AI Everywhere, Especially Agentic & Generative AI • Broad use of agentic AI, or self-governing systems that initiate and finish tasks, in sectors like retail, healthcare, and finance.
• The democratisation of AI makes it possible for individuals and small enterprises to use generative and machine learning tools through open-source models.
2. Edge & Serverless Computing As IoT devices proliferate, serverless edge computing is gaining traction as a way to process data closer to users, lower latency, improve QoS, and fortify privacy.
3. 5G Rollout & 6G Vision: 5G is still growing and is revolutionising mobile computing, immersive technology, and content delivery. Aiming for AI-integrated, ultra-low latency communication by 2027–2030, research into 6G networks is currently under way.
4. Quantum Technology & Cryptography: Companies are developing post-quantum cryptography and quantum computing to
