10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2025, According to the World Economic Forum

In June 2025, the World Economic Forum published the report “Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2025,” which presents key technologies capable of shaping the development of the global economy and industry over the next decade . The selection is based on a strategic-foresight methodology that considers technological maturity, social readiness, environmental and economic impacts, and the political frameworks for deployment.

1. Composite Structural Batteries

Combining structural elements and energy storage into a single component, known as structural battery composites (SBCs), reduces vehicle weight and increases the driving range of electric vehicles without sacrificing structural integrity . According to the WEF, implementing SBCs in the automotive industry could cut weight by 10% and boost range by 6–8%.

2. Osmotic Energy Systems

Proton-exchange and reverse electrodialysis technologies (PRO and RED) harvest energy from the salinity gradient between seawater and freshwater. New semipermeable membranes and optimized system designs provide not only clean energy generation but also desalination capabilities—particularly valuable for coastal regions.

3. Advanced Nuclear Technologies

Small modular reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV reactors using alternative coolants (molten salts, liquid metals) deliver flexible, low-carbon energy for remote locations and industrial zones. High-temperature reactors (600–950 °C) can supply process heat to metallurgical and chemical plants, aiding in the decarbonization of heavy industry.
