This book provides an up-to-date overview and critical discussion of technologies that shape and influence the digital economy, and especially covers artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, virtual and augmented reality, digital twins, blockchain technology, 3D printing, and biochip technology. After two introductory chapters about the digital economy and digital technologies in general, dedicated chapters explain the basics and foundations of each of the selected technologies as well as their potential for industry and services. To this end, these chapters first introduce the specific digital technology, followed by one interview with an academic expert for further describing and explaining the technology plus a second one with a business expert for illustrating a successful business case. Each chapter ends with a recap of the takeaways, supplemented by links to further readings for those who are eager to delve more into the relative topic as well as a self-test to challenge the reader’s understanding.
