Technologies at a very early stage of development that could impact the future
This report presents a list 93 weak signals in science and technology development in 2021. These early signs of emerging technologies or products were detected using text mining, clustering techniques and scientometrics indicators applied on a corpus of peer-reviewed scientific publications. The retrieved weak signals have been classified in seven categories or scientific disciplines. Online thematic dashboards are available to further explore the weak signals.
