Forsight wednesday

Digitally Wed 27 Aug 2025 at 12:00-12:55

One Wednesday a month, Vinnova invites you to Forsight wednesday - insights into the future from the present. Welcome to a lunch hour where you are treated to a hefty dose of future thinking!

This web page has been machine translated. If there are any uncertainties, please refer to the Swedish text.

Today's scout

  • Lina Svensberg, Compare, "Future of requirements specification"
  • Najma Mohamed, Stiftelsen Höj Rösten - "Hybrid identities as a competitive advantage"
  • Max Valentin, Fable - “Creative Destruction in a Controlled Time”

Our scouts share faint signals they've picked up in the present that tell them something about the future - things that could grow into something new or disruptive. It could be about anything from emerging technologies and geopolitics to the future of partying or how Christmas might be celebrated.

The rules are simple: Each scout has five minutes to scout, followed by a short joint reflection where we discuss what we just heard.

Welcome!

Participate in the meeting

Forsight wednesday is broadcast live via Teams and on Vinnovas Linkedin. Please share with colleagues and contacts who might be curious!

What is foresight?

Strategic foresight is a set of methods for systematically identifying and understanding trends, risks and opportunities. Strategic foresight enables long-term planning and flexibility for alternative future scenarios. Through strategic foresight, organizations can prepare for different futures and manage uncertainties in the external environment.

Forsight wednesday premiered in the fall of 2021 and has since been arranged 55 times with visits from more than 150 different scouts from both Vinnova and other organizations.

Sometimes we photograph or video record our activities. If you don't want to participate in photos or videos, please let us know when you arrive.
