We are leaving behind a year full of technological advances that have transformed companies towards a more automated and efficient model. The latest developments in technology are giving way to more connected businesses.
However, this has only just begun. The technology trends of 2022 are loaded with “old acquaintances” that are evolving and the latest advances that will further transform our daily lives and how we interact and work.
Despite the wide variety of technological advances for 2022, they all have the same common denominator: tools and advances focused on driving digitalization and increasing efficiency and growth for all types of companies. The adoption of digital environments has become key to productivity and customer loyalty.
Below, we take a look at the technology trends that will mark 2022 and that you should keep an eye on.
1 Automation and Hyper-Automation
2 Metaverse
3 New Convolutional Neural Network Architectures: ConvNext
4 Predictive Analytics
5 Edge Computing and Native Clouds
6 Distributed Companies
7 Low-Code Services
8 Decision Intelligence
9 Total Experience (TX)
10 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
11 Data Fabric
12 Sustainable Technology Trends
13 NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) with AI
1.Automation and Hyper-Automation
Automation allows us to speed up the time spent performing all kinds of tasks and increase the accuracy with which we perform them. 2022 is a year in which we will continue to deploy tools and developments designed to speed up the process of countless tasks. Also, we will improve our effectiveness in performing them and continue to free ourselves from performing those tasks that can be fully automated so that we can dedicate ourselves only to those in which we can provide a differential value. And hyper-automation will help to improve decision-making without losing quality, exponentially increasing speed and reducing operating costs by up to 30%.
2.Metaverse.

We could not fail to mention it in this compilation of trends, since it has been positioned as the megatrend that will define a new era and that will be able to achieve the same impact as the Internet.
This digital universe in which physical and virtual reality are mixed in a shared online space is going to completely change the way we work, shop, communicate and have fun. The metaverse is going to provide great opportunities for companies, ranging from increasing their social presence to office work, payments, healthcare, buying and selling products, etc.
Multinational giants such as Facebook (which has already changed its name to Meta), Zara, Epic Games, or Microsoft are just some of the examples of companies that have joined this trend and will be the big drivers of this new universe. There is still work to be done to see 100% of what will be achieved, but we must not lose sight of it.
3.New Convolutional Neural Network Architectures: ConvNext
The irruption of Transformers in the field of computer vision has improved the ability of neural networks to extract features from images, as well as the possibility of modeling long-range dependencies. This has led to increased hit rates in classification, object detection, and image segmentation tasks.
Thanks to the techniques learned in the development of hybrid architectures using “Vision Transformers” many research groups have presented new topologies that change the traditional way in which we used convolutional neural networks. This is the case of the new network presented by Facebook research: A ConvNet for the 2020s called ConvNext, which has outperformed (ImageNet Benchmark) the “Vision Transformers” architectures using only convolutional neural networks.
