004. World War III

WAR?

What a word! Lately we have heard that word frequently...it is even possible to find some well recognized writter who announces the World War III is on its way.

However this post is not politically intended but it is just focused to new technologies investments.
Hence we will speak about what is going on in the new-technologies sector due to war-boosted researches.
Despite all its inconvenients each time a war is carried out it means billions on technology investments, so billions in afterwards profits:

During the Great War or World War I Gillette put millions of razors and blades on U.S. soldiers hands. That was a new (on that time) technology, developed to produce hard, thin and unexpensive steel. Later on this new product sat a standard for its sector. No needs of details about what Gillete has become nowadays...

The WWII is to be condemned due to the millions of innocent lives it took away. Said so, it is well known how WWII favoured the development of the Radio, Penicillin, or Nuclear power among other important innovations that are commonly used today. Hundreds of companies were created to develop and sell products born to this technology revolution.
Wish you could have an investment chance in companies created at that time?

Recently wars as Afghanistan one showed us new products like the Drones. That unmanned aircraft used to fly with no danger to the pilot. There are so many companies involved in new drones development, not only oil powered Drones but solar powered ones, too. Such development processes and researches are commonly state funded hence the army forces could benefit of these new products.

But what would happen after a massive drones-guided war? How many possibilites will become a reality after such a huge boost in this technology?

Recently companies as Deutsche Bahn bought some drones to fight against vandalism in its trains (link is in german language). They spent nearly 90.000$ in drones to avoid graffity cleaning on its trains which costs them aproximately 1M$ per year.

Just like blades and razors a hundred years ago did, new technologies as Drones will become soon part of our daily lives.
Think of a home delivery food business. You order a good hawaiian pizza online and within minutes a small drone fly it to your balcony.
Imagine a dangerous fire on the 100th floor of your office wich is quickly extinguished by a team of fire-fighter drones.

Let your imagination fly as a Drone. A thousand new opportunities are flying us to the future.

If you are interested on companies developping such products, take a glance here:

Now that you have a couple more ideas why not trying to invest? ;)

Good luck!
