NEW_TECH explores emerging technologies beyond artificial intelligence: data, cybersecurity, space and quantum technologies. The section reconstructs the trajectories leading towards 2030, reading opportunities, risks and regulatory implications together. Its aim is to offer a measured map of what is maturing in laboratories and in public policy. The contributions connect with Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Point us to an emerging technology or its impact: the section welcomes new contributions.
