Future Trends | IE Center for the Governance of Change

Future Trends

Future Trends serves as an in-depth exploration into emerging technologies and societal disruption, delving into their repercussions on economic, political, and social realms. Throughout a week-long program, participants interact with scholars, practitioners, and experts in pertinent fields. The goal is twofold: to help participants better understand global trends and to provide the necessary tools so that they identify the right challenges and questions that will help them adapt their organizations to the world that is coming.
