CIOs and digital business leaders should use combinatorial digital innovation to seize the advantage by leveraging the rapid growth in emerging technologies.”
Commenting on the report, Fetch.AI CTO Toby Simpson said: “We’re delighted to have recognition in two recent Gartner industry reports. To us, the Gartner name is a byword for excellence when it comes to industry reporting, and we believe the quality of research and analysis in their latest reports is no exception.
