The Future Agenda project is the world’s largest open foresight programme. Throughout 2015, we have run over 100 workshops and discussions in 40 cities around the world from Mendoza in Argentina and Christchurch in New Zealand in the South to Toronto and Beijing in the north. Covering 25 topics, new insights have been gained on the key shifts for the next decade both globally and regionally.

This talk will provide an overview of some of the key global insights from the Future Agenda project. It will share some primary drivers of change and the opportunities ahead and then draw some lessons for innovation. First looking at different ways that we will innovate in a more collaborative and networked world where intellectual property is increasingly shared; and then focusing on 5 major challenges, it will highlight how and why we need to address them.

Linking together global foresight, strategic insight and new forms of innovation, this talk will provoke, challenge and provide catalysts for new ideas for all.
