Increasingly important in the current social landscape will be the development and exchange of knowledge as emerging technologies continue to transform the post Covid-19 converging landscape. A post-covid context remains vastly unexplored in terms of knowledge development and exchange despite the popularity of Covid-19 and emerging technologies. It is the purpose of this research to provide insight into knowledge development, exchange, and emerging technologies in a global context. The conclusions presented in this paper were developed by conducting a thorough in-depth interview with 124 professionals from 12 different organizations that are involved in knowledge development, knowledge exchange, and emerging technologies with a view to  the conclusions presented in this paper.
