Throughout 2018, Future Agenda canvassed the views of over 900 experts from multiple backgrounds with a range of different perspectives in order to discuss their views about the future value of data. Supported by a number of organisations, we held 30 workshops across 24 countries to review the data landscape across the globe, as it is now, and how it may evolve over the next five to ten years. This website and the associated “Delivering Value Through Data” report provides an overview of these discussions and aims to deliver a comprehensive picture of the sheer variety of issues and views…

How we prove that we are who or what we say we are during digital transactions and interactions is set to become one of the defining features of the next stage of the human digital transformation. Today, we are living with early attempts to solve the identity problem that are no longer fit for purpose. At best, the multiple different ways we login, confirm our identities, and establish trust in claims made during digital exchanges, has become profoundly inconvenient. At worst, they have left us in a connected world which is neither safe nor secure, and in which we seem…

The Future of Trade 2050 — a Perspective from the Private Sector provides a glimpse of the changes and challenges the world will be facing in 2050. Its purpose is to start a conversation and to provoke thinking amongst those who are involved in reshaping global supply chains and the overall trajectory of trade.

Often hidden, asthma is a set of chronic conditions that will impact around 1bn of us by the end of the decade. It will see new diagnostics, new treatments as well as gain new social and economic perspectives across nations. Because asthma is affected by environmental degradation, poor air quality and rising obesity levels it disproportionately affects the poor. The combination of rapid industrialisation, increased urbanisation, and projected ecological change indicates we are heading towards a world where as many as one in eight people will be afflicted within the next decade. Expect an associated rise in mortality. The sector…

There are great expectations around the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and equally much uncertainty. Some believe that AVs will transform safety and efficiency and are making significant investments in this area. Others are concerned that the technological developments are outpacing society’s ability to adapt, and there is an urgent requirement to develop better regulation before there is widespread deployment. A major global Open Foresight project has explored the key issues for the future of AVs. Multiple expert workshops and discussions around the world have built the informed view. A dedicated microsite is also available on https://www.futureautonomous.org
