Abstract
Innovation The development of technology has been considered rapid for a long time and is part of our society. From this perspective, it is interesting to study innovative technologies and think about how they potentially affect the structures of society. The aim of the research is to study, find and develop innovative new information on what kind of future services, user innovations and new practices can be developed with the help of new technologies for different operating environments. The research produces new and innovative application areas and practices in different environments: care for the elderly, community services, smart clothing, intelligent transport and the environment, logistics, energy saving, media, transportation. Experts and respondents to survey consider the following to be the most important for the business potential of Smart Clothing: Smart clothing in wellness services, eg for the elderly, measures the heart rate and alerts when necessary (72%). Experts consider the Internet and IoT to be the most important for Internet consumers in terms of business potential: services available through Internet applications anywhere (92%), Internet for distance learning and education (90%), Internet for teleworking/remote working (85%), Internet use in commerce (87%) and Internet use for smart device communication (IoT) (78%). The experts consider the following applications to be the most important for the business potential of Robotics: The paralyzed can walk on artificial legs (87%), Robots in industry (83%), Robots in dirty work (83%), Remote and autonomous vessels in maritime transport (59%), Robot cars / automatic cars (58%) and robots for consumers at home and in leisure time as everyday aids e.g. in cleaning (53%). The experts consider the following to be the most important for the business potential of smart nanotechnology products: Smart nano-labels indicate the content of a warehouse or product, eg RFID (74%), In cars, the nanofilm regulates the internal temperature and cleans itself (62%), Smart self-cleaning nano-coatings (61%) , In logistics, an informative nano-shell, e.g. the package knows for itself where it is going (61%), Intelligent lighting: In windows, the nanofilm regulates the amount of incoming light, cleans itself (60%).The importance of new and innovative technologies to society stems from the observation that ideas and their implementation create growth and well-being. Some of these technological innovations may be based on solving the major societal challenges of our time, such as welfare services and aging, unemployment, increasing renewable energy, intelligent transport, big data, the smart city, through new uses of contemporary inventions.The main goal is to study the future business potential of new technology in Finland and the related innovative business models. The survey study also aims to find new insights into what kind of future services, user innovations and new practices can be developed with the help of new technologies for different operating environments. The study assessed the potential and importance of innovations in several technology areas for business. The 161 respondencewere experts in the technological field. The main results of the study are the analysis of the business potential and business opportunities of technological innovations.This paper discusses about innovative business results of IoT, Robots, Nanotechnology, Quadcopters and 3D printing.Internet of Thingsis largely seen in the area of device-to-device communication, where the potential of smart networked devices becomes significant. Smart clothing is an emerging area of innovation where practical applications are not yet widely used. The rise of robotsin the industry has taken place in recent decades, and their spread to new areas of use continues at a rapid pace. The development of robot autonomy expands their use beyond enclosed factory facilities. Nanotechnology is a very broad field, encompassing many different technologies. For this reason, it also includes very different areas of use. Quadcopters and other self-flying devices are common in recreational use. However, they have many practical applications, e.g. fire control and monitoring. Logistics-related tasks can be control in both warehouses and shops, but also inventory-related. 3D printing and similar technologies have long been an area with high expectations, and it is precisely industrial use that is seen as a major growth area. This may be supported by the need to shorten global long supply chains, and thus reduce supply uncertainty.This paper is survey analysis of business potential and business opportunities of technological innovations.
