Introducing World Technology 3.0

In an era of extraordinary scientific achievement, the journey into World Technology 3.0 (WT3.0) marks a defining moment in our history, a monumental shift in how humanity leverages technology to connect, compete, and collaborate on a global scale. The cornerstone of this initiative will be the inaugural World Technology Games (WTG26) in 2026, where scientific and technological achievements will come to life in immersive, entertaining formats that capture the imagination. Guided by a mission of celebrating human ingenuity, WT3.0 will set the standard for what global collaboration in the age of technology can achieve.

Ushering in the Era of Innovation and Global Collaboration

By meeting audiences where they are – in immersive digital spaces and entertainment platforms – WT3.0 creates a global stage where scientific and technological achievements capture the world’s imagination. The focus is no longer on isolated advancements but on an ecosystem where innovation thrives across borders, industries, and cultures. This ecosystem will be characterized by:

• Interoperability: Open platforms that allow participants to seamlessly connect, compete, and share content across any device or digital environment.
• Compelling Content: Entertainment formats that transform complex technological achievements into thrilling narratives that inspire future innovators
• Global Collaboration: Nations, corporations, and innovators work collectively to tackle pressing challenges such as climate change, equitable access to technology, and digital literacy.
• Sustainability: Technology’s growth aligns with a commitment to reducing environmental impact, ensuring a future where progress does not come at the expense of the planet.

World Technology Games 2026: A Vision Realized

The World Technology Games (WTG26) will be the anchor of WT3.0 — a global stage for innovation, creativity, and competition. It will convene the brightest minds, most advanced technologies, and diverse cultures to compete in groundbreaking events across four realms: life, earth, data and industrial sciences. This includes:

• Robotics: Designing, building, and programming autonomous machines that solve real-world challenges, from search and rescue to forest management.
• Artificial Intelligence: Exploring the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence in art, music and storytelling
• Materials Engineering: Designing fashion that lives at the intersection of beauty, sustainability and scalability.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality: Competitions set in hyper-realistic virtual environments that challenge physical, mental, and strategic capabilities.
• Quantum Simulations: Utilizing quantum computing to solve intricate problems, from optimizing global supply chains to modeling climate change scenarios.
• And More

A New Era of Global Engagement

WTG26 isn’t just a technology competition, it’s a celebration of the people changing our world. Advancements in robotics are contextualized by their creators. Complex AI systems become tools of artists to create revolutionary art and music. Participants in Tokyo could compete in real-time with those in São Paulo, breaking down geographical barriers and embodying the spirit of WT3.0.

Moreover, WTG26 will spotlight the critical role of education and inclusion. Partnerships with academic institutions, governments, and tech leaders will ensure that the knowledge and tools showcased during the games are accessible to all, inspiring a new generation of innovators and leaders.

Beyond the Games: Legacy and Impact

The legacy of WT3.0 and WTG26 will extend far beyond the Games themselves. This movement will set benchmarks for sustainable innovation, equitable access to technology, science and the importance of harnessing a global tech-inspired community. WTG26 will redefine how the world engages with scientific and technological achievement, bringing the brilliance of researchers and innovators into the digital spotlight.

As the Executive Chairman of World Technology, I am privileged to be part of this extraordinary journey. WT3.0 and WTG26 are not just milestones; they are movements—a call to action for dreamers, innovators, and leaders worldwide. Together, we are shaping a future where technology serves as a unifying force, empowering us to reach new heights and forge a better tomorrow.

The countdown to 2026 has begun. The future is calling—let’s answer it boldly.
