  • From AI to Blockchain to Quantum Computing: Globant Reveals Its 2024 Tech Trends

  • 03 Jan 2024

    Press Release

Globant 2024 Tech Trends

  • The annual report delves into key areas anticipated to undergo significant changes in the foreseeable future.
  • Additionally, it presents fresh insights into consumer expectations regarding the utilization of artificial intelligence: 40% believe that the widespread adoption of AI across industries will lead to significant improvements in customer experience, and 96% think it’s important for businesses to be transparent about how and when they are using AI in their products or services.

 

NEW YORK — January 3, 2024 Globant’s Digital Studio Network, which harnesses disruptive tech to put clients’ businesses at the forefront of innovation, published its 2024 Tech Trends Report, highlighting top tech predictions for the year ahead. 

 

“Technologies that make it to the forefront in 2024 will be those that can make measurable impacts on the customer experience, the employee experience and/or business advancement,” said Diego Tártara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “The human impact has never been more critical, and the technologies that can work alongside humans to improve capabilities and lives will take off.” 

 

The 2024 Tech Trends Report focuses on the following five areas that will usher in the most change over the next 12 months and beyond:

 

  • Artificial Intelligence: While big businesses focused on using AI for cost optimization and efficiency last year, the opportunity to use AI to skyrocket customer experiences in organizations across the board is largely untapped. With the development of countless accessible AI tools, organizations will adopt AI like never before to improve outcomes and manage resources. Organizations that invested in AI in 2023 will use these tools to largely focus on differentiating their customer experiences in 2024. 

 

  • Quantum Computing: Many organizations will start understanding how quantum computing could impact their business in 2024, but only some will take steps forward. Applications in data and computing-rich fields, such as finance and pharmaceutical research, will likely be the first to take interest and invest.

 

  • Robotics: The robotics market will reach a pivotal point with versatile robots, thanks to AI developments. In 2024, businesses will start to adopt robots-as-a-service (RaaS), with many not taking a humanoid form but rather focused on an optimized task, like rolling delivery bots. Robotics is also entering the “non-manufacturing” space where it's traditionally been used for automation and efficiencies, and expanding into areas like hospitality and entertainment. 

 

  • Blockchain: Blockchain will remain a critical technology for specific industries. The implications for digital identities and data security will keep the blockchain in the conversation around technology reinvention, but it won’t truly take off until governments and public agencies champion its interoperability.

 

  • Immersive Experiences: Despite some headlines to the contrary, interest in 3D immersive experiences is still strong. In 2024, we will see a static interest in the metaverse, with peak interest coming with the launch of the Apple Vision Pro in Q1. Key players will continue to invest heavily into making it an everyday interaction for individuals.

Media Kit

NEW YORK – December 5, 2023 Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, celebrated its first 20 years of business at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with various initiatives that featured “Globers” (Globant employees), journalists, clients, colleagues, partners, NYSE authorities, and the global winners of Globant’s Women That Build Awards 2023.

 

Founded in Argentina in 2003 by Martín Migoya, Nestor Nocetti, Martín Umarán, and Guibert Englebienne, Globant commemorated 20 years of an extraordinary journey of creativity, challenges, and continuous disruption. This year, the company was recognized as one of Fortune’s 100 Fastest-Growing Companies, and today, it has more than 27,500 talented Globers in offices in 30 countries across 5 continents, working with organizations like Google, Electronic Arts, and Santander, among others. 

 

“Globant was founded with the dream of leading the technology industry from Latin America. From the outset, our goal has been to reinvent our industry and be fully dedicated to the development and transformation of organizations,” said Martín Migoya, CEO of Globant. “As we celebrate our first 20 years, we reflect on our continuing journey to turn bold ideas into reality.
