About foresight
A signal of a possible change - is something that is already happening today, but which can be a clue for the future - if we only listen carefully enough. The next step is to ask ourselves questions such as: "What kind of change does this signal represent? What direction does it take us?” and "What trend or larger phenomenon is driving us in that direction?" Signal plus drive equals foresight.
Foresight is an approach that gives us the power to help shape 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 Vinnova works with foresight
The global challenges are great, at the same time that societal development is accelerating. To be able to make the courageous decisions required - tools are needed that can help us understand what lies ahead. In order to handle changes and new challenges, Vinnova, just like other actors in the innovation system, needs to get better at understanding the future.
We want to explore how we as public authority can work with foresight, and how we can collaborate with other actors to get as much exchange as possible.
