Climate change, pandemics and social divides. We are facing global challenges that require us to think new and do things differently. We need new methods that can contribute to a society that is both socially and environmentally sustainable.
Under Vinnovas's theme during the Internet days, we talk about our effort on future prototypes. How we can use them to understand the larger contexts and examine the direction we want to move in as a society.
During the theme track, we invite the teams behind the future prototypes to tell us more about how they work with foresight and speculative design, and share with us concrete tools. We also invite an international group of experts to a broader conversation about why we need future thinking to change our societies in a sustainable direction.
We welcome decision-makers and innovation experts from all sectors to take part in:
- the story behind the effort future prototypes and why Vinnova chose to invest in precisely speculative design
- a conversation about what is required for sustainable social change and how inclusive foresight methods can contribute to increased innovation capacity and more sustainable societies
- exciting examples of future prototypes from areas such as health, urban development and food systems
- approaches and methods that will help you become a futurist!
