2015年新兴技术

The 2015 list of the greatest emerging technologies was published by Bernard Meyerson， chief innovation officer of IBM and chair of the World Economic Forums Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies.

IBM的首席创新官兼世界经济论坛新兴技术跨界委员会主席伯纳德·迈耶森发布了2015年最棒的新兴技术榜单。

The annual list represents an effort to bring attention to the new technologies and to close the gaps in funding and regulation that often inhibit progress.

这份年度榜单着力于呼吁人们关注新兴技术，并弥补因资金和规则阻碍发展带来的差距。

Here is the 2015 list：

以下是2015年榜单：

1. Fuel cell vehicles
