Technology is one of the fastest growing industries and reshapes every industry, and it’s time you started looking for technology investment opportunities. To help, the post lists some promising technologies that can help you diversify your investment portfolio. Take a look.

1.Wireless Energy
One of the major problems with transmitting energy from a source to destination is over dependence on electrical wires that may get frayed with time. Wireless technology that involves transmitting energy without wires promises to address this issue and investors are taking note. According to a study, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 52 percent between 2015–20. In the coming years, the technology could have many takers, including developing economies such as China and India that are on the constant lookout for options to minimize waste during energy transfer.

2. Augmented Reality
Many experts believe augmented reality to be the technology of the future. Though majorly used by the gaming industry today, augmented reality, in the future, can help the armed forces, medical technicians and health experts, and tour planners enhance the effectiveness of their operations. According to a study, the industry will have over 1 billion users and $60 billion in revenue by 2021.

3. Biotech
Donald Trump’s stance towards the biotech industry has been lot friendlier as compared to other presidents. Recently Trump announced a tax cut for corporations by 15 points. The president also announced a shift to a system of territorial taxation, which would result in a drastic decline of tax on earnings from outside the country making it more profitable for MNCs to repatriate earnings. The announcement is also expected to make the U.S. an attractive investment decision.

4. Advanced Robotics
In the not so distant future, robots equipped with artificial intelligence are expected to perform a number of tasks such as helping armed force personnel conduct reconnaissance exercises, assisting medical experts perform complex surgeries, and helping logistics and construction companies plan their operations. According to a study, the robotics market will be worth a whopping $135 billion by 2019. By 2035, robots will no longer be confined to AI experiment facilities and will replace almost half of America’s workforce. BCG Consulting expects the price of enabling software to dip by 20 percent in the next 20 years, attracting sizeable investments.
