New economic agents
New economic agents
Machines will have an identity, history, and bank account to store digital value, buy and sell services, and operate in the economy as a new type of market participant.
Everything-as-a-service
Everything-as-a-service
Machines will sell services as a product with businesses paying per outcome rather than purchasing assets outright to make them more agile and configurable.
No centralized control

1. Internet of Things

The most significant technological development in the Machine Economy is the increase in basic connectivity of devices and machines. With 41.6 billion IoT devices by 2025, the advanced abilities of networked machines communicating with each other and cloud-based applications are creating numerous new business opportunities.

2. Blockchain & DLT

The topic of decentralization is becoming increasingly important. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is transforming a world of intelligence into a world of decentralized governance, immutable data systems, and transparent networks. Blockchain will play a significant role in enabling machines to transact with one another via self-executing smart contracts autonomously.
