Prototyping 2040?

 

Prototyping 2040 is a vision of four prototypes (or mindsets) for western civilization in 2040. To create the prototypes, the FutureS Thinking team critically analyzed thousands of signals of change.

The prototypes revolve around issues of social, economic, and environmental importance. We looked at such aspects as work, everyday life, mobility, city planning, industry, and finance. In addition, we investigated a number of key values that determine each of those aspects. The prototypes were created to inspire organizations, businesses, and institutions to think with a longer perspective, and help them prepare for the changes and challenges which, in our opinion, are inevitable.

360˚
trend research

The driver for our trend services is the unique 360° trend research process. Our ongoing research examines the birthplaces of product trends and the links between megatrends, consumer trends and product design.

The experience of more than a decade has taught us the importance of a cross-industry view. We look across industries like FMCG, Medical, Professional, CE & DAP and Mobility and notice that the borders between traditionally defined industries have become blurred. Or knowledge helps companies to step over the border of their industries and set their own future directions.
