Cathie Wood and the Ark Invest team envision a decade defined by the convergence of disruptive technologies. In particular, they emphasize five specific technology platforms: artificial intelligence, public blockchains, multiomic sequencing, energy storage, and robotics.

“Technological convergence could create tectonic macroeconomic shifts more impactful than the first and second industrial revolutions,” the ARK team stated in the ETF issuer’s Big Ideas 2024 annual report.

“Catalyzed by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the global equity market value associated with disruptive innovation could increase from 16% of the total* to more than 60% by 2030. As a result, the annualized equity return associated with disruptive innovation could exceed 40% during the next seven years, increasing its market capitalization from ~$19 trillion today to roughly $220 trillion by 2030,” ARK Invest’s report added.
