During the SXSW 2025 annual technology festival, music, innovation and culture, the Mit (Institute of Massachusetts Technology) presented the traditional list that points out the 10 most innovative current technologies And that promise to impact the world this year.
The disclosure took place on Friday (7), with Niall Firth editor of the report produced by MIT Technology Review. He commented on the main technologies to SXSW public in Austin, United States.
Check below the 10 most innovative technologies of 2025
1. VERA C. RUBIN OBSERVATORY
A new telescope will be inaugurated this year in an isolated region of Chile, starting a ten -year survey of the southern hemisphere sky. Equipped with the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy, it will capture images continuously over the years, allowing astronomers to investigate dark matter, explore the Milky Way and unravel mysteries of the universe.

Generative research promises to make the search for what you are looking for simpler and faster, according to MIT. When you type an appointment, an AI model summarizes information from many online sources to return a single response. On your device, it can search documents, photos and videos, recognizing objects and people. This can signal the End of traditional search engines and the rise of IA personal assistants.
3. SMALL LANGUAGE MODELS
Large language models impress with their ability, driven by hundreds of billions – or even trillions – of parameters that shape their operation, as well as vast volumes of internet data in their training. However, smaller, more accessible and energetically efficient versions are now rivaling these giants in various specific tasks.
4. Remedies for cattle belching
Cow belchs are one of the largest sources of agricultural emissions – and one of the most difficult to solve. An food supplement that significantly reduces the amount of methane that cattle burrow is now available in dozens of countries. Other products, which may be even more effective, are probably on their way, said the report.
5.
After years of beta tests, the taxi robots are becoming available to the public. In several cities around the world, passengers can already request one at any time. Now the main companies in the sector are preparing for a fierce dispute while expanding their operations to new regions, under the attentive gaze of regulators.
6. Clean fuel
Innovative fuels, produced from used cooking oil, industrial waste and even atmospheric gases, may allow aircraft to fly without depending on fossil fuels. Although these alternative jet fuels have been under development for years, they are now gaining scale, with new factories being built and government regulations demanding their adoption.
7. Quick Learning Robots
The advance of the general AI is accelerating the Robot Learning allowing them to get new skills faster than ever. These automatons are not limited to a single function – we are getting closer to versatile robots, capable of adapting to different environments and performing various tasks with almost immediate efficiency.
8. Prolonged action HIV prevention drugs
A new clinical test for a HIV prevention drug revealed 100% protection among treated women and girls. In addition, its application is simple, requiring only one injection every six months. This innovation can represent a big step to eradicate AIDS as long as your access is guaranteed to those who need it most.
9. Green steel
Steel production is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide industrial emissions, even surpassing the total emissions of India, the third largest global polluter, and far surpassing those of the air sector. Now, the first green steel industrial plant, which uses hydrogen produced from renewable energy, is under construction. The project is led by Startup Stegra, valued at $ 7 billion, and is expected to operate next year in northern Sweden.
10. Stem cell therapies that work
Stem cells of human embryos promise to cure disease. This is the great promise that scientists have made decades ago. And now it’s finally coming true, the MIT pointed out. Experimental laboratory cell transplants are helping to treat two very different conditions – epilepsy and type 1 diabetes.
