The technology sector is growing all over the world: If ten years ago only the oil and gas industry was on the list of the most valuable companies in the world, now it is exclusively technology companies. Together with the Currency.com crypto exchange, we have selected 10 promising companies that could potentially be worth more in the future due to the overall growth of the technology market.
At the same time, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other top companies with huge capitalizations are not on the list. Tesla is not in it either – Elon Musk’s statements lately are too eccentric to believe in the stability of the course of this company.
This article is not a call to action, but rather a recommendation to expand your investment portfolio, because there are not only Alibaba and Facebook in the world.
1. eBay
eBay is the biggest internet-based sell-off website in the United States. Once it was perhaps the largest platform in the States for online trading, but Amazon bypassed it and significantly pulled ahead. However, eBay is doing well and has seen significant growth during the pandemic.

Square is an American company that develops systems for accepting and processing online payments. The pandemic has played into the hands of Square: the company has shown excellent growth in all respects.

In general, investors are positive about the future of the company.

Jabil cannot be called an IT company, but it deserves to be on this list, as it is directly related to technology. It assembles gadgets for other companies. Among its clients are Apple, Amazon, HP, and even Tesla.
Pluses: sales of equipment around the world are growing at an incredible pace. For example, Apple set an absolute sales record for the first quarter of 2021. Thanks to this, Jabil orders are growing – in the end, their business can even be bought to concentrate production facilities within one corporation.
