About foresight
A signal of a possible change - is something that is already happening today, but which can be a clue to the future - if we just listen carefully enough.The next step is to ask questions such as: "What kind of change does this signal represent? What direction is it taking us? ” and "What trend or major phenomenon is driving us in that direction?" Signal plus driving force equals foresight.
Foresight is an approach that gives us the power to be involved in shaping the future - and not just let it happen. It's not about predicting the future, no one can do that! It is about working with scenarios about the future based on the signals we see and the knowledge we have today. With their help, we can make more informed decisions.
Why does Vinnova work with foresight
The global challenges are great, at the same time as the development of society is accelerating. To be able to make the brave decisions required - tools are needed that can help us understand what awaits in the future. To be able to handle changes and new challenges, Vinnova, just like other actors in the innovation system, needs to become better at understanding the future.
We want to explore how we as a public authority can work with foresight, and how we can collaborate with other actors to get as much exchange as possible.
