Quantum Computing could prove to be a Gamechanger; gets listed in Technology Trends for 2022
As governments around the world prepare to regulate modern technology, tech companies are already scheming ways to expand their hold on the digital economy. Evolving technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as new ones such as blockchain and the third generation of the internet, known as Web3, are challenging our assumptions about what online life is or should be. Author Prasid Banerjee has compiled a list of ten such trends that we feel you should keep an eye on in the next year.
The Indian government has announced new initiatives to address chip shortages
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has approved the semiconductor policy aiming to catalyze growth. According to reports, the government has granted authorization to provide Rs 76 thousand crores. This clearance will assist companies like as BHEL, MoschipTech, and Bosch substantially. The Tata Group has also shown an interest in establishing semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Semiconductor shortages have recently been reported all around the world. Many international corporations want to build up chip manufacturing plants in India, and they are in frequent contact with the Indian government. In the near years, India may witness critical production units of international businesses manufacturing semiconductor chips and displays. In terms of India, the country imports all sorts of semiconductors valued around $ 24 billion, with this figure predicted to rise to $100 billion by 2025. Now, as the country and the world grapple with the shortage of semiconductors, the government is again trying to make India self-reliant regarding semiconductors.
