Which preposition should be used here, in or of?

  1. the next 30 trends in technology in the next decade
  2. the next 30 trends in technology of the next decade

Provided the sentence makes sense correctly. Trend is about what is going on, not so much as what might happen in the future.

Both will work.

That said, there's a significant difference that I see here:

The next 30 trends in technology in the next decade

refers to "trends" (in technology) in the next decade. This uses the term technology in the generic sense, extrapolating its development through the next decade.

On the other hand,

the next 30 trends in technology of the next decade

refers to trends in (the) (technology of the next decade). This is about (pieces of) technology specific to the next decade.
