As part of the global future agenda programme we ran an event in partnership with ISPIM in Budapest in June 2015. This focused on the future of collaboration and drew together different issues raised about collaboration from several strands of the future agenda events to date. The aim of the event wss to critique, enhance, add and build a clearer view of how collaboration will change over the next decade and what will be some of the key impacts and implications. This documents includes both the key ouputs and the starting point for this discussion.

Future of Work, Employability and Digital Skills
As the world of work changes, how will organisations, society and individuals adapt to ensure that the current and the next generation will be able to acquire the skills necessary for future jobs? Building on previous Future Agenda research that focussed on key policy areas primarily in the Asian market and, more recently, an updated outlook on the future of work and skills development developed in partnership with the University of Bristol, School of Management, we are very pleased to be starting a new phase of research. As well as an analysis of the future of work, this will specifically explore the shifting nature of employability and how and where digital skills will have impact.
Over the next few months, expert views from across Europe will be shared in order to develop a richer understanding of key issues and how they vary across different jurisdictions. As with all Future Agenda projects, the aim is to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends and build an informed assessment of the changes ahead and their implications for policy and action.

Future of education project overview oct 2018 lrFuture Agenda
Future of Education
The broadening world of education is undergoing several major shifts. Driven in part by technology innovation and new business models, the learning process is being reinvented and there is a transformation of education economics and outcomes. Alongside this, there are government imperatives to improve access and address the growing requirement for flexible knowledge workers with transferable skills who can adapt to the changing job market. An ageing workforce also means that there is an increasing need for lifelong learning and re-skilling. In addition there is an increasing demand for a more personalised, immersive and mobile learning experience. All this is challenging the traditional expectations around higher education and the role that universities should play. While countries such as Finland and Singapore are consistently seen as leaders in the field, other nations are trying hard to catch up.
Ahead of a series of global expert events during 2019, this is an overview of the Future of Education project. It provides some background on Future Agenda and preceding multi-nation programmes, highlights some of the questions being raised and outlines options for organisations around the world to get involved. Different governments, technology companies, universities and education service providers are collaborating to support this programme that will develop a clear, shared and detailed view of how the future of education may unfold. If you would like to join in and host one of these events in your region, do let us know (tim.jones@futureagenda.org) and we can integrate that into the planning.
The third programme has taken place during 2020, engaging more experts on the pivotal shifts via virtual workshops and wider community debate.Here are ten issues that will provide future challenge and opportunity.
E7 Not G7
As global GDP rises, the seven largest emerging economies (E7) have increasing economic power. The relative influence of the old G7 Western powers declines.
Data Sovereignty
Large-population emerging economies see the protection of their data as a national priority. Wider data sharing is restricted to within national borders.
The Race to Net Zero
Cities, countries and companies compete to set the standards for the planet.Fully reducing emissions is central for energy, health and economic targets.
Electric Aviation
As the pressure to decarbonise aviation builds and technology challenges are addressed, using electric planes for short / medium-haul flights gathers support.
The Stakeholder Society
The shift from maximising shareholder value to a stakeholder focus accelerates. Organisations’ purpose, action and performance measurement realign.
Migrating Diseases
Health systems struggle to address the impact of climate change. The increased spread of ‘old’ vector-borne diseases challenge nations for whom they are ‘new’.
Peak Soil
After water and air quality, attention shifts to soil. It impacts everything from food and health to conflict and migration. Action follows deeper understanding.
True Personalisation
Ubiquitous facial recognition and digital identity combine with wider AI adoption to enable the creation and delivery of truly individualised experiences.
Resilience by Design
Global supply chains evolve to be more flexible, shared regional supply webs. Competitors access shared, not proprietary, networks and systems.
Proof of Immunity
Public concerns about health security override worries about privacy. Governments integrate immunity and health data with national identities.

This presentation explores the new ways we are working and the implications for business and for workers. Each theme has 4 trends and each trend is supported by 4 examples, supporting statistics and implications defined by PSFK Labs team.
Future of Work
The future of work is increasingly uncertain. What is clear is that we are in the midst of a major transformation driven by multiple drivers of change. How individuals, companies, cities and governments respond to the upcoming shifts will be pivotal for future economic and social wellbeing, but this is far from straightforward. Some major decisions lie ahead.
Ahead of a speech to MPs in London next month and several subsequent expert discussions, this is a point of view on how, where and why the future of work is in flux.
It explores three key drivers of change as leaders around the world view it – shifting demographics, technology innovation and the organisational response. In addition, we have highlighted several areas where new policy decisions need to be made.
Future Place - Smart Cities vs. Smarter Citizens 30 03 16Future Agenda
A new filter of the Future Agenda insights looking at the future of cities. Future Place looks at some of the core global drivers of change around urbanisation and the challenges faced by city living. It contrasts major smart city projects with other data enabled shifts and highlights the roles that more connected citizens and deeper collaboration may play as we move forward. This is the first of several new presentations from the Future Agenda team that will be shared over the next month or two. It is being first shared in a talk in Dubai
Delivering value through data future agenda 2019Future Agenda
Delivering value through data - final report. Throughout 2018, Future Agenda canvassed the views of a wide range of 900 experts with different backgrounds and perspectives from around the world, to provide their insights on the future value of data. Supported by Facebook and many other organisations, we held 30 workshops across 24 countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. In them, we reviewed the data landscape across the globe, as it is now, and how experts think it will evolve over the next five to ten years.
The aim? To gain a better understanding of how perspectives and priorities differ across the world, and to use the diverse voices and viewpoints to help governments, organisations, and individuals to better understand what they need to do to realise data’s full potential.
We are not aware of any other exercise of this scale or scope. No other project we know of has carefully and methodically canvassed the views of such a wide range of experts from such a diverse range of backgrounds and geographical locations. The result, we hope, delivers a more comprehensive picture of the sheer variety of issues and views thrown up by a fast-evolving ‘data economy’ than can be found elsewhere. And, by providing this rich set of perspectives, we aim to help businesses and governments - to develop the policies, strategies, and innovations that realise the full potential of data (personal, social, economic, commercial), while addressing potential harms, both locally and globally.

Hidden organisations of influence world in 2030Future Agenda
Hidden Organisations of Influence
The growth in globally influential, yet unaccountable, organisations that are able to undertake surveillance, steer agendas and shape government policy has wider impact.
In theory it has never been so difficult to remain below the radar. 24/7 news, constant surveillance and demands for greater accountability make it is seemingly impossible for any corporate, political or, on occasion, personal activity to go unnoticed. And yet widespread concerns about the number of increasingly influential, unaccountable, commercially driven organisations that are operating with rapidly expanding reach were often expressed during recent workshops. True, wealthy individuals and organisations have long had a disproportionate influence over elected representatives but the amount of money some companies now have to spend is unprecedented. Furthermore, new technologies have made it easier for others to access information, exert influence and move funds around the world in ways which are almost impossible to trace. The truth is they can operate effectively and invisibly without being restricted by the traditional checks and balances. At a time when calls for greater transparency are escalating it seems that meaningful oversight is lacking.

Norway has long used technology to streamline processes within the public sector and bring the government closer to citizens and businesses. Now the country is going further, seeking to transform its public sector through the full assimilation of digital technologies. The goal is to make it more efficient, collaborative, user- and data-driven, and better able to respond to the changing needs and expectations of citizens and businesses. This review analyses the efforts under way and provides policy advice to support the Norwegian government in implementing digital government. For more information see oe.cd/gov-norway
The world in 2020 - The 10 year perspectiveFuture Agenda
2020: A Review of Future Agenda Foresight
At this time of year, many are looking forward to the next twelve months. From the WSJ and the Economist to the FT, CNN and numerous consultancies, a host of organisations are suggesting how technology, economics, trade and politics may change and impact society.
However, others keen to plan, innovate and invest for the future are interested in understanding probable longer-term shifts. It is an uncertain science but those that are able to identify the pivotal global and regional changes ahead of peers can be better prepared.
In 2010 the first global Future Agenda programme looked forward to the key shifts that would impact the World in 2020, so perhaps it is timely to review the results of that research. How well did we anticipate the decade ahead? How does foresight match reality?
During 2010, 50 expert workshops in 25 countries looked at the most significant changes ahead across 16 different topics ranging from the future of cities, food, health, transport and energy to identity, choice, data and authenticity. The 52 top foresights for 2020 were published online and via books, presentations and other media. These covered a wide range of themes. All research was shared openly for all to use under Creative Commons.
This new overview takes a look at the original research, highlights a selection of the foresights for 2020 as identified in 2010 and compares them to the unfolding reality at the start of 2019. It demonstrates a high level of accuracy found with all Future Agenda research – with around 80% alignment between foresight and reality.
If you would like to be involved in some of our upcoming projects for 2019 on changes in digital education, autonomous vehicles, placemaking and energy storage, do get in touch.
In the meantime, we wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Future of identity Singapore - 3 july 2015 lrFuture Agenda
As part of the global future agenda programme we are adding in an extra event in Singapore on 3 July. This is focused on the future of identity and draws together different issues raised about this and related topics from several strands of the future agenda events to date. The aim of the event is to critique, enhance, add and build a clearer view of how our views of identity and loyalty, especially to sport and faith, will change over the next decade and what will be some of the key impacts and implications. This documents is the starting point for this discussion.
As companies and governments around the world grapple with accommodating changes in the workplace, the workforce and the nature of work itself, we are pleased to be continuing our Future of Work foresight programme. Building on previous global research undertaken over the past few years, we are now looking in depth at six pivotal issues that have been prioritised as areas of major potential change. These are digital skills, soft skills, reinventing roles, the blurring of work, green jobs and digital productivity. Initially taking a European focus, with the support of Amazon, over the next couple of months a series of expert digital workshops are exploring the core shifts ahead and their implications for organisations and wider policy.
This PDF sets the scene for the dialogue both within the workshops and more widely. If you would like to be involved or have comments on the potential changes ahead, do let us know and we can accommodate. As always all discussions are under the Chatham House Rule and so there is no attribution and, as we progress with each area, we will be sharing a synthesis of all new insights and recommendations over the rest of the year.

The 2012 FOCAS convened 38 leaders and developers from government, media and communications enterprises, localities, consumer/user groups and academia to define the problems of open and innovative governance and develop solutions. Road to Government 2.0: Technological Problems and Solutions for Transparency, Efficiency and Participation, summarizes the insights, initiatives and recommendations emanating from the Forum. The report, written by Forum rapporteur Greg Ferenstein, describes the origins of the open government movement, provides a discussion of the meaningful open governance efforts around the world and then addresses a number of serious shortcomings and subsequent solutions in open government. The recommendations include measures to enhance public awareness and media engagement, modifications to the government procurement process and an emphasis on useful participatory government to help improve information flow, communication and citizen interactions.

Change is everywhere. Technology has accelerated the change. Government needs to adapt its thinking and strategy to these new realities. This document is primer to decision makers to trigger their thinking in that direction. The future of Government is Open, Collaborative and Social.
When the Global Pulse initiative was launched by the UN Secretary-General in late 2009, its mission to use real-time and other non- traditional data sources in development and humanitarian action was groundbreaking. 2014 was a landmark year for embracing the importance of data analysis in achieving sustainable development. Throughout the year, the "Post-2015 data revolution" agenda was taken-up in governments, public sector and civil society organisations.
Over the past year, Pulse Labs in New York, Jakarta and Indonesia have supported the growth of a thriving community of practice, redefined the data innovation landscape and demonstrated how real-time data can play a role in supporting decision-makers and shaping public service delivery. With 25 joint data innovation projects implemented over the year, in partnership with 25 UN & Govt innovation project partners, 30 private sector collaborators and academics from 26 institutions, Global Pulse is contrbuting to a body of evidence that demonstrates how big data analysis can complement traditional approaches to development planning and monitoring.
Global Pulse's Annual Report 2014 highlights big data innovation projects carried out over the past year, and new milestones in the evolution of a "big data for development" ecosystem.

From ‘dark kitchens’ to ubiquitous delivery brands and grocery on-demand, where, what and how we all eat is undergoing significant and rapid change.
In a collaborative project, put together in partnership with McCain, we have been looking out to 2030 to explore and define how Off-Premise Dining might further evolve, and which of the multiple current trends are likely to stick? The emerging view is a first step toward answering the question. It reflects the key insights gathered from interviews and in-depth workshops with key industry stakeholders in Europe, the Americas and Asia, as well as the Future Agenda database and synthesised desk research.
The fight for future market share is already well underway, and significant bets are being placed on a wide range of future opportunities; from health-focused vending machines, through increasingly sophisticated mobile apps, to personalisation of food flavours. With so many significant shifts taking place simultaneously across the entire off-premise dining value chain, there will inevitably be winners and losers. We hope our insights can serve as a jumping off point for further discussion as to where the winners might emerge.
As with all Future Agenda projects, the aim is to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends, and build an informed assessment of the changes ahead and their implications for strategy, policy, innovation and action.

Future of asthma care a global expert view - summary - august 2021Future Agenda
Future of Asthma Care in 2030
Often hidden by many, asthma is a set of chronic conditions that will, some believe, 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 in many nations. As part of a global Open Foresight programme to bring together an informed outlook for all to use, this is a draft synthesis based on dialogue with 100 experts worldwide. At a time when lung health is front of mind for many, this is an important topic for our future health.
We are keen to understand your view on this. What do you agree with, what is missing and what may need an alternative perspective? Please do share any comments and feedback to douglas.jones@futureagenda.org and we will include everything in the final report that will made available later this year.

To build a richer, deeper view, we would very much welcome your feedback – especially on which shifts may deliver most benefit in the next ten years, and what is missing that ought to be included in the mix.
The UK in 2030 - An expert informed view on some key trendsFuture Agenda
At a time when there is much speculation on what the next twelve months may bring, some are also looking ahead to prepare for the longer term. What will the UK be like in 2030 when the nation is post-Covid, post-Brexit and post-Johnson? Now that vaccines are being rolled out and the initial outline hard Brexit deal has been done, how will the UK fair over the decade – economically, socially and demographically? What changes are already locked-in and what is open to future variation? Based on numerous discussions with a wide range of experts across the UK in late 2020, this document explores some of the key potential trends for the next decade and highlights where the UK may be heading.
Having a well-defined future view is never easy – particularly in times of uncertainty. However, if we can differentiate between the certain, the probable and the possible we can build a clearer picture of the future which may help to challenge assumptions. Since 2010, Future Agenda has been using open foresight to explore decade-long trends with a high degree of accuracy. The World in 2020, written in 2010 for example, accurately anticipated a range of developments such as a global pandemic, the challenges around data privacy, the scaling up of electric and autonomous vehicles, the widespread use of drones and the building impact of solar energy. All of these were anticipated through extensive expert dialogue across multiple disciplines to curate an integrated, informed perspectives which can be accessed by everyone.
We used a similar approach to explore the pivotal shifts ahead for the UK. Following multiple expert discussions including academics, regional and central government, social and business leaders, as well as the military, this document summarises eight areas of alignment about UK 2030 but also highlights three fields where there is substantial difference of opinion.
Our conversations identified eight core areas where we can have confidence that changes will take place. These trends are:
1. A Changing Demographic Mix
2. Accelerating to Zero Carbon
3. Improved Digital Connectivity
4. Declining Economic Influence
5. More Devolved Power
6. Rising Inequality
7. Emphasis on the Local
8. UK Leadership
Future of retail - Five key future trends - 9 Dec 2020Future Agenda
Future of Retail – Five Key Trends
The pandemic has accelerated change across many sectors – and especially retail. More online, less physical and empty malls have been evident globally. So what about the next ten years? What changes will continue to accelerate, which will rebalance, and which new ones will emerge?
Based on extensive dialogue with retail, tech and city leaders globally, this new point of view brings together the major shifts in the mix collated under five key trends – Reemphasis on the Local, Identity Insights, Automated Retail, Continuous Interaction and Informed Consumers.
Now being used to stimulate new thinking, innovation and strategy development in multiple projects around the world, this is being shared to continue dialogue on changes and impact.
We welcome your views @futureagenda

The UK in 2030
In the midst of all the current uncertainty, many people are seeking greater clarity around how the future may unfold – both globally and locally. Therefore, as part of the World in 2030 project, we have curated a specific perspective on the UK in 2030.
As with all our Open Foresight projects, UK 2030 is built through dialogue with informed individuals holding alternative outlooks on how things may unfold. This PDF provides an initial collation of some of their views on what is certain, probable and possible. We will use it to initiate further period of consultation over the next month.
With this in mind we would very much welcome your thoughts – especially around the areas that you agree with, those you disagree with and your suggestions about what is missing. Your knowledge will add both richness and depth to this point of view. We will share an updated and more detailed summary before Christmas. The ambition is that this can then be used to both inform and challenge assumptions so we can all gain a clearer perspective on the future of the UK.

The world's most innovative cities past present future - oct 2020Future Agenda
Cities are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and economic growth largely stems. For centuries, the world’s most innovative cities have been acting as global catalysts for change, and will continue to do so. As more cities seek to have impact over the next decades, we need to better understand what drives success and so identify those that may have greatest lasting impact.
APPROACH – Getting Clarity
Future Agenda has been conducting multiple discussions around the world on the future of cities (www.futureofcities.city). Our aim is to explore the range of views about what makes one city more successful, more influential and more innovative than other, and also consider key related issues such as the future of work, health, trade, trust, transport and data.
In addition, we have applied a similar modelling technique to those applied to Innovation Leaders which, for twenty years, has identified the companies that have been the best and most sustained innovators, in order to assess what potentially makes one city more innovative than another. Exploring multiple criteria, we have highlighted some core global catalysts for change.
To accompany a speech at the WRLDCTY event, this presentation shares some of the salient insights: It profiles some of most innovative cities of the past, identifying the key elements that contributed to their success, highlights some of the pivotal cities having greatest impact today, and, lastly, suggests ten cities for future global innovation leadership.

Data as an Asset – A Top Risk?
The concept of data being accounted for as an 'asset' is increasingly considered to be a top future risk. The fifth of our 2030 digital workshops in collaboration with The Conference Board explored varied potential data risks (Many thanks to Ellen Hexter and Sara Murray for organising).
Rated top by 50 business leaders for future impact, and second for likely change, was a foresight that “organisations will be obliged to account for what data they own or access. As such they will be required to regularly report on their full data portfolio.” (See attached PDF)
Particular concerns were raised on; how organisations will best assign value to their data; how it will be treated as an asset; who will audit this; whether ownership will be transferred with use and how, if valued, data will be taxed.
Some felt that by 2030 there will be guidelines, standards and frameworks in place – other were less convinced. Most however agreed that many business models will change.

While some regions gain from better water management, much of the world’s population increasingly depend on water moved from one river basin to another. New options are explored to achieve this economically and with reduced socio-environmental damage.
As part of the World in 2030 global open foresight project, this point of view shares some perspective on changes ahead.
With climate change, increasing urbanisation, growing contamination, higher water consumption, more intensive farming and rising industrial use in many economies all having significant and combined impact, as the global population approaches 10 billion, but the net amount of water on the planet stays constant, concerns over water stress have been building. With 70% of water used for agriculture, a quarter of humanity is now facing a looming water crisis. A broadening range of urban areas need multiple innovations to provide water to cities throughout the year.
Although better water management and the decreasing cost of desalination are having impact in some regions, in many others, and especially for fast-growing inland cities, the task of ensuring continued water access is mounting. Simply moving water from one river basin to another is not straightforward. It is fraught with technological, environmental, economic and socio-political challenge. There are however several developments underway to enable more effective long-distance movement of water – some focused on building new infrastructure at scale and others looking to imaginatively repurpose existing assets to help meet the inevitable future demand.

Future of hospital design initial perspective - sept 2020Future Agenda
Hospitals of the Future
In partnership with Mott MacDonald we are exploring how hospital design will change in the next decade. Building on insights gained from multiple healthcare expert workshops around the world, this is an initial perspective that share some key thoughts on how and where we may see most change. Starting with context on shifts in healthcare more generally, from slide 28 onwards it includes 22 proposals for future design focus. These range from hub and spoke ecosystems and post-Covid reconfiguration to more flexible spaces and the impact of digital theatres.
As part of a global Open Foresight programme, we are now sharing these views to gain feedback for inclusion in a more detailed point of view that will be published later in the year. If you would like to add in your opinions on which issues will be driving most change in hospitals of the future, we would welcome input either directly to us by email (tim.jones@futureagenda.rg) or via this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/J9S8SB6

Porous Organisations
Here is our latest 2030 foresight.
This time we focus on the challenges for the future of work. Increasing competition for talent forces organisations to open their doors to a growing number of independent workers. This makes it difficult to maintain corporate knowledge and becomes a challenge for business big and small. In a highly volatile and increasingly complex landscape, many must learn how to manage a seamless flow of knowledge and ideas so they can adapt to changing customer demands, ensure capabilities are maintained and keep the doors to innovation open. Looking ahead, it seems that only the wealthiest and most attractive organisations (in the main technology companies) will be able to retain the loyalty of their employees. For everyone else, building and preserving corporate know-how within increasingly porous organisational boundaries will become a priority. As ever your thoughts and provocations are very welcome.

New solid-state batteries offer safer, higher performance than existing options and become viable options for use across multiple sectors. Competitive pricing and proactive policymaking accelerate global uptake.
This foresight is part of the World in 2030 project exploring the key global shifts for the next decade - https://www.futureagenda.org/the-world-in-2030/
Battery development has become a priority area for a broadening range of companies in recent years. Significant investment is underway as a number of new technologies compete for fast-growing markets. Five years ago, we identified that energy storage was the missing piece of the renewables jigsaw: “If solved, it can enable truly distributed solar energy as well as accelerate the electrification of the transport industry.” Today, as economies focus on faster decarbonisation and increasing electrification, particularly in transportation, the speed of new battery development has become a central issue for many researchers, policy makers, investors and companies.
Why is this? If we can get significantly more energy from a lighter, more compact, but affordable battery then the implications are enormous. Not only will this accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by extending their range and providing a cheap way to store renewable, particularly low cost solar, energy, but it will also release a host of new developments in other areas from wearable electronics to electric planes, drones and scooters.
Given the demand for high performing batteries is building, it is hardly surprising that there is as much focus today on creating the batteries of tomorrow as there was when the first rechargeable battery was invented 160 years ago: according to a USPTO search in the past decade or so over 200,000 battery related patents have been issued. The rush to deliver the next generation technology is bringing together a host of new partnerships and foremost in many discussions is the potential impact of solid-state batteries. Within the next decade these could become the catalysts for substantial and lasting change across many sectors.
Soil is fundamental, fragile and finite. It impacts everything from food and health to conflict and migration. Deeper understanding of its degradation raises the significance of soil to equal that of climate change and biodiversity loss.
We know that the quality of our soil is the key to the food we grow, the clothes we wear and the water we drink. It recycles nutrients, sequesters carbon, is fundamental to biodiversity, helps keep our ecosystems in balance and is an essential part of our general wellbeing. But, although soil represents the difference between survival and extinction for most terrestrial life, human activities have caused it harm leading to compaction, loss of structure, nutrient degradation, increasing salinity and denuding landscapes. Furthermore, the urgent need to preserve soil receives relatively little attention from governments. An unsung hero of our planet, it is fragile, infinitely important and finite. Why do we treat it with such disregard?
As part of the World in 2030 programme, this foresight explores the future of soil and the stresses ahead https://www.futureagenda.org/foresights/peaksoil/
Future of Retail
As physical shopping around the world variously restarts post-lockdown, a number of organisations are, unsurprisingly, asking what the medium and long-term changes for the future of retail may be. While digital shifts are still at the fore for many, others are concerned about trends impacting retail from outside the sector as well as emerging consumer behaviours.
Ahead of a forthcoming workshop, we have collated a number of future trends that have been proposed by several experts in recent months. If you would like to let us know which you think may have greatest impact - and why, as well as what other shifts are missing from the current view, we will update and share a more detailed perspective in the next few weeks.

Future of Autonomous Vehicles
The dream of self-driving vehicles has been a long time coming. It is however now within reach and the pressure is on the deliver on the vision. With sustained technology development, increased investment and raising public awareness, there is enormous interest in the imminent mainstream use of autonomous vehicles on the streets.
Although approaches vary from around the world, policy makers and urban planners in leading locations are now seeking to collaborate more with manufacturers, mobility providers, tech suppliers, logistics operators in order to align regulation for testing and mass deployment. And it goes both ways.
The investments being made in autonomy have rapidly shifted from millions to billions, so unsurprisingly those public and private organisations that are providing the funds are keen to ensure that the ROI is credible. There is much to play for and, although there has been substantial progress over recent years, significant questions on safety, social impact, business models and performance are still unanswered.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles project was undertaken to canvas the views of a wide range of experts from around the world in order to create a clearer, informed global perspective of how autonomy will evolve over the next decade. Beginning with a discussion with government officials just outside Shanghai in July 2018 and ending with leaders from across the US autonomous vehicle community in the hills above Silicon Valley in February of 2020, this project has covered a lot of ground. In all, eight workshops and six additional discussions have engaged with hundreds of different opinions, shared perspectives and built considered future pathways.
This report is a synthesis of many voices and opinions on the likely future of autonomous vehicles. We hope that is useful.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

14. CollaboraNon
Time
as
a
Social
Currency
Time
spent
working
on
collabora/ve
projects
addressing
real
issues
is
a
metric
that
drives
reputa/on
and
social
status.
Individuals
seek
to
give
up
their
free-‐/me
to
help
solve
emerging
problems
to
be?er
support
society.
15. Cross-‐generaNonal
CollaboraNon
Tapping
into
the
exper/se
of
part-‐/me
older
workers
and
the
re/red
is
supported
both
by
the
elderly,
who
seek
to
remain
ac/ve
and
make
a
difference,
and
the
young
who
can
help
share
and
apply
their
knowledge.
16. CollaboraNve
Business
Models
Partnerships
shifs
to
become
more
dynamic,
agile,
long-‐term,
democra/sed
and
mul/-‐party
collabora/ons.
Big
challenges
are
addressed
by
global
groups
of
diverse
stakeholders
built
around
new,
non-‐financial
incen/ves.
17. Unified
CollaboraNon
PlaXorms
Public
and
private
communi/es
of
interest
partner
to
create
comprehensive,
unified
digital
plagorms
that
support
mul/ple
players
working
together
to
take
major
innova/ons
through
to
proof
of
concept
and
beyond.
18. CollaboraNon
Standards
As
we
move
to
a
world
of
IP-‐free,
mass-‐collabora/on
to
help
address
the
big
challenges
ahead,
compe/tor
alliances
and
wider
public
par/cipa/on
drive
regulators
to
create
new
legal
frameworks
for
open,
empathe/c
collabora/on.
19. The
Future
of
CollaboraNon
-‐
Appendix
This
is
the
full
range
of
insights
both
used
as
input
to
the
Budapest
event
at
ISPIM
20. Global
vs.
Local
Technology
is
by
its
very
nature
global
and
data
does
not
respect
na/onal
boundaries.
Can
na/on
states
con/nue
to
set
the
rules
or
will
tension
in
global
interoperability
drive
us
to
design
for
global
standards
but
with
localised
use?
21. Joining
the
Dots
Increasing
collabora/on
drives
companies
to
re-‐organise
based
on
social
networks.
The
shared
economy
changes
the
shape
of
many
organisa/ons,
but
a
shif
in
the
role
of
the
company
from
employer
to
facilitator
challenges
many.
22. Rise
of
the
Micro-‐Actors
We
can
see
a
blurring
of
energy
consumers
and
producers
–
to
‘prosumers’
who
do
both.
Hence
a
move
to
mul/ple
micro-‐actors
working
individually
and
collec/vely
-‐
supported
by
new
technological
developments,
including
storage.
23. Big
CollaboraNon
Addressing
future
major
challenges
relies
on
deeper
and
wider
collabora/on
between
organiza/ons
with
no
lead
company
and
IP
value
crea/on
replaced
by
new
recogni/on.
24. Taking
Hard
Decisions
We
know
that
there
is
a
growing
urban
popula/on;
climate
change
is
taking
effect
and
that
the
vola/lity
in
water
supply
can
only
be
par/ally
mi/gated
by
improved
efficiency.
We
have
yet
to
decide
how
to
address
the
problem.
25. A
Data
Marketplace
Data
is
a
currency,
it
has
a
value
and
a
price,
and
therefore
requires
a
market
place.
An
ecosystem
for
trading
data
is
emerging
and
anything
that
is
informa/on
is
represented
in
a
new
data
marketplace.
26. 21st
Century
OrganisaNons
The
emerging
organisa/on
feels
very
different
from
c20th
companies
-‐
collabora/ve,
crowd-‐funded,
fla?er,
human-‐focused,
hyper-‐specialised,
informal,
localised,
out-‐sourced,
project-‐based,
purpose-‐led
and
virtual.
27. Deep
Distant
InteracNons
Reliable,
ubiquitous
mobile
communica/ons
will
enable
deep
and
effec/ve
geographically-‐distant
interac/ons
where
the
online
experience
will
be
difficult
to
differen/ate
from
face-‐to-‐face
mee/ngs.
28. CollaboraNve
Health
Data-‐centric
pa/ents
shif
from
a
dependency
on
expert
prac//oners:
They
take
on
more
responsibility
for
their
own
care
and
collaborate
with
a
wider
range
of
health
professionals
as
they
pursue
improved
health
and
preven/on.
29. Value
of
Data
There
is
undoubtedly
a
huge
economic
incen/ve
to
generate
and
collect
data
from
whatever
sources
it
becomes
available.
As
more
data
from
more
things
becomes
available,
we
can
expect
to
see
a
data
“land
grab”
by
organisa/ons.
30. Reaching
the
Limits
Growing
popula/ons
and
rising
consumer
demand
related
to
higher
standards
of
living
across
all
socie/es
are
increasing
consump/on
of
resources
and
we
are
in
danger
of
exceeding
the
Earth’s
natural
thresholds.
31. CollaboraNve
Networked
Learning
There
will
be
a
movement
away
from
a
top-‐down,
broadcast
approach
of
learning
to
a
hyper-‐collabora/ve
global
network
consis/ng
of
learners,
ins/tu/ons
and
content
providers.
32. Securing
Sustainable
Society
The
benefits
of
making
data
open,
especially
for
solving
some
of
society’s
greatest
problems,
will
drive
governments
to
insist
that
certain
private
data
sets
are
made
public,
democra/sing
data-‐use
and
driving
social
innova/on.
33. Public-‐Private
City
Partnerships
To
collec/vely
address
major
urban
challenges,
as
shown
by
Medellin
in
Colombia,
governments
increasingly
openly
collaborate
with
business
to
improve
the
ins/tu/onal
fabric
of
ci/es
as
well
as
core
infrastructure.
34. Data
Darwinism
Data
is
a
new
form
of
power:
Corporate
consolida/on
places
data
in
the
hands
of
a
few
who
are
able
to
dictate
terms
above
others.
Governments
correspondingly
have
less
power
as
they
have
less
access
to
key
data.
35. Individual
Control
New
disrup/ve
providers
are
seeking
to
put
the
individual
in
control
of
their
personal
data.
In
the
process,
they
are
seeking
to
disintermediate
data-‐intensive
businesses
from
their
exis/ng
sources
of
data.
36. Deeper
vs.
Wider
RelaNonships
Social
interac/ons
broaden
through
extended
access
but
may
also
become
more
superficial:
A
divide
grows
between
those
establishing
rela/onships
purely
on
data
and
those
basing
connec/ons
on
emo/ons.
37. Self-‐Organised
Learning
By
removing
adult
restric/ons
on
educa/on
and
providing
children
with
Internet
access
and
on-‐line
support
and
encouragement,
children
are
able
to
self-‐organise
and
learn.
38. Conscious
Stewards
We
are
more
aware
of
the
consequences
of
our
ac/ons:
There
is
a
sense
of
stewardship
of
the
world
-‐
not
only
in
how
we
manage
our
home,
but
also
in
how
we
live
in
our
ecosystem.
We
start
to
behave
as
conscious
stewards.
39. New
Value,
Different
Models
In
the
coming
years,
brands
will
need
to
be
disrup/ve
in
their
thinking
about
loyalty,
seeking
new
kinds
of
value
proposi/on,
exploring
different
models
and
redefining
the
very
ways
in
which
loyalty
is
conceived.
40. ParNcipatory
Government
One
of
the
ways
that
the
state
can
legi/mize
itself
to
its
cons/tuents
might
be
to
facilitate
the
building
of
rela/onships
with
the
people
and
other
sectors
to
co-‐provide
solu/ons
to
problems.
41. Fair
CompensaNon
Fairer
prices
for
farmers,
food
producers
and
consumers
are
driven
by
the
elimina/on
of
subsidies,
the
introduc/on
of
sustainability
accoun/ng
into
the
corporate
P&L
and
increased
transparency
and
traceability
of
supply.
42. Lessons
From
Large
CiNes
Smaller
ci/es
and
towns
will
increasingly
adopt
approaches
that
have
worked
in
larger
ci/es:
Mul/-‐modal,
integrated
transport
op/ons
will
be
adapted
and
op/mised
for
midi
ci/es.
43. Post
Modern
Workplaces
We
are
on
the
cusp
of
a
transi/on
to
a
world
where,
half
of
the
popula/ons
of
Europe
and
the
United
States
subscribe
to
post-‐modern
values
of
autonomy
and
diversity.
The
workplace
will
not
escape
this
trend.
44. Global
vs.
Bilateral
Agreements
A
key
ques/on
for
the
next
decade
will
be
whether
we
will
be
able
to
achieve
true
global
agreements,
or
will
bilateral
trade
agreements
remain
the
way
by
which
na/ons
can
be?er
manage
and
control
economic
influence?
45. CollaboraNon
and
Trade-‐Offs
To
bring
about
a
shif
and
to
broaden
the
frame
of
discussion,
pragma/c
collabora/on
is
needed,
between
government,
society
and
industry
at
an
unprecedented
scale.
46. Incumbent
Blockers
Several
large,
well-‐established
organisa/ons
con/nue
to
seek
to
prevent
change
by
arguing
for
short-‐term
incremental
shifs
rather
than
wider,
more
collabora/ve
system-‐based
change
that
may
benefit
society
in
the
long-‐term.
47. Transport
and
Society
Transport
systems
need
to
contribute
to
suppor/ng
and
improving
society
rather
than
only
serving
it
and
risking
unintended,
unan/cipated
and
unwelcome
consequences.
48. Changing
Role
of
Government
En//es
compete
with
the
state
for
influence
-‐
environmental,
human
rights,
and
other
ac/vist
NGOs
–
and
operate
at
many
levels
of
government
around
the
world.
This
new
dynamic
changes
the
role
of
the
state.
49. Making
Compromises
Reconciling
the
need
for
companies
to
act
sustainably
and
in
accordance
with
principles
of
interna/onal
human
rights
with
the
local
prac/ces
will
require
compromise
to
develop
workable
context
and
industry-‐specific
guidelines.
50. Skill
ConcentraNons
The
growth
of
the
nomadic
global
elite
ci/zenship
accelerates
the
concentra/on
of
the
high-‐skill
/
high-‐reward
opportuni/es
within
a
select
group
of
globally-‐connected
ci/zens,
who
move
ahead
of
the
urban
pack.
51. Measuring
Wealth
in
a
More
Human
Way
As
we
evolve
from
seeing
progress
purely
as
growth
of
GDP
and
income
per
capita
to
a
more
holis/c
understanding
and
measurement
of
wealth,
the
metrics
by
which
we
judge
success
will
have
to
be
reinvented.
52. Business
SoluNons
to
Societal
Problems
Re-‐visioning
the
role
of
business
in
society
may
lead
to
a
reduc/on
in
inequality,
less
par/san
poli/cs
and
greater
ac/on
as
businesses
take
the
lead
rather
than
wai/ng
for
Government
to
lead
them.
