A technology renaissance is sweeping the Federal ecosystem, fueled by growing government support and public-private partnerships that are pushing the boundaries of innovation.<\/p>\n

In all corners of the tech world, cutting-edge research is thriving, and emerging technologies are supporting mission-critical work. Cybersecurity pioneers are implementing<\/a> zero trust principles to help keep the nation safe from cyber threats, while artificial intelligence (AI) is a growing presence in Federal agencies.<\/p>\n

The gap between workforce skills and technological needs poses a growing challenge, but tech leaders are stepping in<\/a> to provide a broad range of technical training and other programs to help the workforce develop critical skills.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what\u2019s happening now. What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

Even as they innovate on a daily basis to implement the technologies of today, leaders throughout the IT ecosystem are focusing on developing the solutions of tomorrow. And with the recent passage of the historic Chips and Sciences Act<\/a> and other steps to support emerging tech, the Federal government is playing a key role in leading America into the technological future.<\/p>\n

By some estimates, U.S. government spending on emerging technologies nearly doubled<\/a> between 2017 and 2021, rising from $60.7 billion to $117.2 billion. Earlier this year, the Biden administration released<\/a> an FY 2023 budget with what it called \u201chistoric investments in science and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what technology comes down the pike, the key is enabling the workforce to be able to leverage it to solve mission objectives,\u201d said Tony Holmes, practice lead for public sector solutions architects at Pluralsight, a technology workforce development company.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment dollars should go into ensuring that the U.S. government has the best people, by offering world class upskilling and reskilling to help fill the technological skills gap that is increasing every day,\u201d Holmes said.<\/p>\n

Mark Townsend, vice president of professional services at Invicti, a developer of web application security technologies, pointed to President Biden\u2019s executive order<\/a> on cybersecurity as an example of how a strong and aggressive Federal approach can spur innovation. The order \u201cis the catalyst for agencies to increase the scrutiny of their cybersecurity measures with prescriptive technologies and controls, including zero trust initiatives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Throughout the government, Federal \u201cagencies at all levels are using emerging technologies<\/a>\u201d to \u201cenhance their operations and improve customer service,\u201d according to the Partnership for Public Service, which cited AI, edge computing, and virtual and augmented reality as among the areas of growing focus.<\/p>\n

The spirit of innovation has extended far and wide, with new technological trends converging and pushing boundaries to the point where some label this technological era \u201cthe fourth industrial revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some of the hottest new technologies that experts say are coming down the pike, along with an overview of the government support helping to pave the way for their development:<\/p>\n
