Technology Roadmaps

Welcome to Technology Roadmapping and Development at MIT. Technology roadmaps show the current state, targets and pathway to the future for technologies created by humans. The roadmaps shown here were created by students in 16.887-EM.427 starting in 2019 using a common approach and structure. This main page contains a list of the 37 existing roadmaps, their classification into a 5x5 taxonomy and a “how to” guide for getting started quickly. Roadmaps are presented in a Wikipedia style format which is easy to read and cross-reference
