What are the megatrends that affect our future? How will our lives change as a result of the need for ecological sustainability, intensifying globalisation and technological development? What are the perspectives now, in the near future and in 2052?
Our society is struggling to adapt to an ongoing historical transition. Potential developments represent a multitude of opportunities and threats. These threats will be realised if we fail to anticipate them – while we can only benefit from our opportunities if we grasp them. How can we make the transition into a society of the future?
Sitra welcomes you to listen to and participate in a discussion about the future on 14 January 2016. Sitra’s new trend list for 2016 will also be published at the event. The event’s keynote speaker will be Professor Jørgen Randers (BI Norwegian Business School).
The event is now fully booked. The event will also be streamed live online here.
