Description
In a world where technology landscapes are rapidly evolving, understanding the key drivers behind such changes is crucial for both technologists and policymakers. This session will examine the profound and observable long-term trends that are shaping the human future. These include climate change, ageing populations, and the rise of geopolitical tensions. Understanding these and other megatrends is essential for navigating the complexities and uncertainties that lie ahead.
Megatrends are not mere predictions; they offer critical perspectives on how past data can inform our assumptions about what the foreseeable future might hold. They create common ground for understanding among individuals with diverse perspectives, fostering a collective vision for the human future.
