As we’ve written before, the problem with investing in emerging technologies is that you can rarely predict which industries will be disrupted and which will remain completely unaffected. 3D printing has certainly been among the most unpredictable technologies we cover. Real growth is coming in areas like distributed manufacturing, led by companies like Materialise (MTL), […]
Last week we got a sneak peek into the future of healthcare digitization when Teladoc (TDOC) and Livongo (LVGO) announced plans for a merger. On paper (as of early August), the combined company would have a market value of more than $25 billion. The former is rapidly grabbing market share in virtual health through its […]
The emerging technologies that we cover on Nanalyze are poised to disrupt almost every industry on the planet, which is perhaps why just about every business on the planet has started calling itself a technology company.

Many see emerging technologies like artificial intelligence as a way to curb sky-rocketing healthcare costs, which are expected to hit about $10 trillion globally by 2022.

There are some trends out there that are hard to explain. Consider that the music video Gangnam Style has gotten more than 3.2 billion views on YouTube, probably making more money than the top-10 AI startups in South Korea combined. Some are much easier to explain, like everyone suddenly wanting to be a ganjapreneur and […]
The Magic Mountain roller coaster ride of the last week or so in the market seems almost Disney cartoonish. At times like these, investors might be tempted to invest in voodoo dolls and chicken bones in a desperate attempt to figure out what to do next. It certainly seems like today’s market reacts intuitively with […]
