About the Global Foresight Network

Accelerating and advancing the practice of foresight and future-preparedness across sectors

Why Foresight?

We believe strategic foresight has a major role to play in navigating global complexity. However, while this set of approaches and methodologies has recently experienced a surge of interest across sectors, most organizations have yet to develop their capabilities in this regard.


The World Economic Forum is working with a core group of interested and committed institutions and individuals from the public and private sectors to identify and prioritize opportunities for major public-private, high-impact contributions in the area of foresight and future-preparedness.

This is an invitation-only community. Representatives are nominated to the community by their organization. The nominees must be senior executives / academics involved in organizational decision-making. Typical roles include Chief Strategy Officer, Chief of Staff, Chair, VP, Director, or Head of a business unit responsible for foresight.
