As the most-hyped Silicon Valley IPOs like Uber and Lyft stumble out of the gates, the app economy fueled by billions in venture capital is looking vulnerable. And many of the best new ideas in tech are not coming from California.
As those past Disruptors, which are defined by their use of smartphones and the cloud, become public giants, we're seeing a handful of new technologies drive change, led by machine learning and artificial intelligence, both leveraged by well over half of this year's list.

Artificial intelligence came in second, with 29 companies naming it as key to their business, followed by cloud computing with 14 companies.
