Texas A&M Innovation, with the support of The Association of Former Students, is proud to unveil Future 12: a dynamic list spotlighting the most groundbreaking innovations poised to transform industries and reshape our future. This announcement, made during Innovation Forward 2024, highlights emerging technologies across diverse fields, from pharmaceuticals and sustainable energy to AI-driven cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing.
Future 12 is more than just a collection of ideas; it represents a convergence of expertise from Texas A&M’s extensive network of Former Students and industry leaders. This year’s list was created starting with a survey of 6,000 Former Students holding senior leadership positions within their organizations, then validated through interviews with Texas A&M’s accomplished experts. We aimed high, engaging industry leaders, including virtually every Fortune 100 company, to ensure that the innovations represented in Future 12 have far-reaching impact. The Association of Former Students played a crucial role in supporting this initiative, helping bring together the expertise needed to identify these key innovations from across industries ready to drive substantial change within the next 24 months.
