Technology fusion

Technology fusion

Technology fusion involves a transformation of core technologies.

The fusion of technologies goes beyond mere combination. Fusion is more than complementarism, because it creates a new market and new growth opportunities for each participant in the innovation. It blends incremental improvements from several (often previously separate) fields to create a product. (Kodama, 1991)

Probably the best known example is the fusion of mechanical and electronic engineering to create 'mechatronics'.
