So far, in 2020, the COVID-19 has caused a seemingly inevitable disruption in every corner of the world, and April was lived in lockdown. However, it seems that this pandemic has not disrupted research, and the last 30 days were very active, resulting in a bunch of releases.
Our Research Team picked covers of the most relevant Emerging Tech Reports released in April. This is an initiative that we will keep rolling so we can all keep up to date, and don’t miss any releases! Do you think we missed any? Please, let us know in the comments!
All together, we empower society to shape the future.
