During 50 minutes, you will be able to take part in a number of short foresights from the conference South by Southwest (SXSW) connected to, among other things, the energy of the future, interactive technology and space. Presenters are Joakim Skog and Annie Lindmark from Vinnova who will share various signals and trends they have perceived and which they believe can develop into something new or changing.
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 yourself questions like: “What kind of change does this signal represent? What direction does it take us?” and "What trend or larger phenomenon is pushing 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.
We address actors within the innovation system who are interested in foresight and global trends, innovation experts, key actors, public actors, startups and private individuals. The same target group that tunes in on Foresight Wednesday. That is, a broad group actors who are interested in foresight and global trends.
