GFII Annual ReportExecutive
Summary
In 2022, the highly contagious mutated virus Omikron ravaged the
world, further exacerbating the already struggling economies of
various countries that had not fully recovered from the pandemic.
Many central banks attempted to address the greatly
underestimated inflation by implementing monetary tightening
policies.
In the midst of this predicament, the development of science and
technology is the key to humanity‘s breakthrough. ICV, as an
international consulting firm specializing in cutting-edge
technology fields, released the first annual global future industry
development index report (GFII 2022), providing reference for
people from all walks of life around the world.
“Future industry” refers to industries that have a significant
impact on human production and life, have a driving effect on
progress of society and economy, and are characterized by
forward-looking and disruptive features. The future industries play
a significant role in terms of leading global economic growth,
guiding human social progress, and enhancing national
competitiveness.
Global 2022 Future Industry Index
1ICV has referenced the standards and definitions of organizations
such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
then defined the 2022 annual “future industry” as six major
fields: Quantum information, green energy, AI robot, metaverse,
advanced communication, and biotechnology.

The progress of quantum technology has the potential to
completely change the fields of computation, medicine,
manufacturing, artificial intelligence, communication, and defense.
Quantum information science includes quantum computing,
quantum precise measurement and quantum encryption.
Green Energy
Also known as renewable energy, compared to traditional energy,
the biggest feature is that it does not produce environmental
pollution. The focus is on solar energy, tidal energy, ocean thermal
energy, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, fuel cells, and energy
storage devices. Green energy has the advantages of
environmental protection and no possibility of energy depletion, so
it is valued by many countries, especially those with energy
shortages.

3 AI Robot
Covering two major branches, industrial robots and intelligent
robots, including all mechanical devices that simulate human
behavior or thinking and simulate other organisms (such as robots
and robot cats). The “future industry” focuses on intelligent
robots, which are based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology
and have the ability to learn, communicate, perceive, use tools, and
manipulate machinery like humans.
Metaverse
Refers to a virtual reality space built on the basis of the real world,
with a complete operating economic system, its high degree of
openness and inclusiveness provide a good environment for
creating value. The underlying technology support includes
network communication (5G/6G), cloud computing, blockchain,
digital twins, etc. Through the disruptive changes of productivity,
the metaverse will bring humanity “the fourth industrial
revolution".
