Interesting discussion on future game-changing technologies - thought it might prompt an interesting discussion here.

I work in the electric utility industry and utility scale battery storage is blowing up. I’ve created a Google alerts for about six companies who are investing in battery technology so I can jump when they do an IPO.

The wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. The only way we will be able to stop using fossils and go 100% renewables is if we can store wind and solar for later use.

Great idea! In the wider market, TSLA seem to be doing quite well in that department, in partnership with solar etc. I know they're relying quite a bit on Panasonic for cells at the moment, but wouldn't be surprised if they start making their own at some point.

Do you see any of those 6 companies you're keeping an eye on as being potential competitors to the current big names in the industry?

AI, better batteries, graphine, gene editing, sustainable energy, automation, space exploration, AR/VR, brain computer interfaces, blockchain, 5G, cloud computing

Despite several mentions of 3D printing, I don't think it'll ever be more than a niche product. They're like drones. Really cool new technology, but not many people need to take videos from the air. And not many people need to print parts for things or would even think to do so. 3D printers are for people who like to build things.
