Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Generative AI for Product Development
Generative AI, especially large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models, will automate code generation, UI/UX design, and content creation, drastically accelerating product development cycles and reducing manual effort.
AI-Powered Autonomous Agents
Sophisticated AI agents capable of understanding complex instructions, making decisions, and executing tasks autonomously will transform operational automation beyond current RPA capabilities, creating a truly 'hybrid workforce'.
Edge AI and Distributed Computing
The deployment of AI models directly on edge devices, coupled with distributed computing, will enable real-time processing and decision-making closer to the data source, improving efficiency and reducing latency in industrial applications.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU AI Act (Proposed, expected 2024/2025)
The EU AI Act is a proposed regulation establishing a legal framework for AI, categorizing AI systems by risk level and imposing stricter rules on high-risk AI applications, including those used in critical infrastructure and employment.
This policy will require OWOW to ensure all AI solutions developed, particularly those for high-risk sectors like manufacturing or logistics, comply with stringent requirements for transparency, data governance, human oversight, and cybersecurity, potentially increasing development costs but also building trust.
Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) (Fully effective 2024)
The DSA aims to make online platforms more accountable for content, while the DMA targets large online 'gatekeepers' to ensure fair competition in digital markets.
While primarily focused on large platforms, these acts will influence how OWOW designs and develops digital products and webshops, ensuring compliance with user safety, content moderation, and fair practice requirements, particularly if their clients operate at scale or become designated gatekeepers.
NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security) (Implemented 2024)
The NIS2 Directive expands the scope of cybersecurity obligations to more entities and sectors deemed critical, increasing requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and supply chain security across the EU.
OWOW will need to enhance its cybersecurity practices and ensure the security of its developed platforms and underlying infrastructure, as well as assist clients in critical sectors (like manufacturing, logistics, and digital infrastructure) in meeting stricter cybersecurity and reporting obligations.
