"The future" is not a given. Quite the contrary, it is highly contested by groups with different visions of how they want to live in the world. And yet, technology is transforming society on a global scale faster than we've ever seen. Global Center for the Future is an international research and action group specializing in innovation and issues of tomorrow. We create knowlege to identify solutions for a better world, now and in the future. GCF was created for companies that want to enrich the work of their innovation teams. We believe that a peaceful and prosperous future does not spring naturally from technological innovations. Rather, innovation must be coherent with societal trends in order to be accepted and adopted. GCF brings together a network of innovation executives, historians, futurists, business leaders, scientists, researchers, and technologists from around the world to share expertise that addresses this challenge. Our multidisciplinary work seeks to understand what drives resistance to change, and guide innovation using a global vision of the future.
