Humans have always shared. More recently, enabled by technology, new forms of sharing and access have begun to transform industries as well as the way we live our lives, creating financial return and social reward for participants. From AirBnB (爱彼迎 ) to Uber and Didi Chuxing, the sharing economy has rapidly moved from niche to mainstream in a number of categories, most notably accommodation and transportation.
But where next? Building on insights from the wider Future Agenda programme with recent research and interviews with a number of industry leaders and experts, we’re delighted to share an emerging view of the Future of the Sharing Economy.
Over the next few weeks we are asking for feedback and opinion from around the world. We’d really welcome your perspective, comments, challenge and additional insights to co-create an enriched informed future view for all. We will then update and share.
As with all Future Agenda output, this is being published under creative commons (share alike non commercial) so you are free to share and quote as suits.

Future Risk - Emerging global and corporate challenges 05 02 17Future Agenda
Over the past few months we have been running a number of workshops focused on helping organisations to identify and develop responses to emerging global and corporate risks. Working with companies, government agencies and advisory groups, we have been interrogating the insights from the Future Agenda programme to highlight those issues that provide the greatest potential challenge and also could have the most significant impact going forward. At a time when growing uncertainty and ambiguity are top of mind for many, we thought a brief summary of the most frequent topics being explored may be of wider interest.
In this summary we have therefore highlighted ten key global risks and ten key corporate risks that multiple organisations are seeing as high priority / impact for the next decade:
Ten Global Risks
• Accelerating displacement and the increase in migration
• Air pollution increasing in many urban environments
• A new world order driven by changing interests and relationships
• Broader cyber terrorism moving from the virtual to physical world
• Closing the inequality gap and balance equity and autonomy
• Flooded cities as the most visible impact of climate change
• Global pandemics stressing public health systems
• Key resource constraints driven by economic and political tensions
• Rising youth unemployment creating a lost generation
• Spiraling debt as a precursor to another major financial crisis
Ten Corporate Risks
• Continuous proof of loyalty to consumers required from brands
• Declining government influence as cities, networks and multinationals lead
• Full cost and having to account and pay for the true impact of activities
• Interconnected systems and the IoT increasing business vulnerability
• Managing data risk driving the need for greater security
• Regulation changing rapidly in its reach, its character and its focus
• Speed to scale accelerating and proving more disruptive impact
• Truth and illusion shifting view of what is credible and why
• The human touch being increasingly important in a digital world
• The rise of machines as AI and automation are both threat and opportunity
While not the same top issues for every organisation, these hopefully help to provide useful insight and context. More detailed information on many of these is available on the future agenda website www.futureagenda.org
Future of Cities: Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions Around the World
Following on from the main 2015 Future Agenda programme, last year we undertook additional Future of Cities events in Singapore, Beirut and Guayaquil. Exploring not only key current challenges and aspirations but also emerging issues, the insights from these and other discussions have all now been synthesized into a single summary. This document brings together views from a wide range of experts from the 2016 workshops as well as previous events in London, Vienna, Dubai, Delhi and Christchurch. Together it provides an overview of three common challenges, three shared ambitions and three emerging concerns that were highlighted in our multiple discussions.
Given the complex, interconnected nature of the drivers of change in cities, it is no surprise that there are hundreds of different reports already published exploring future trends either globally or locally. While this summary may overlap with a number of these reports, it is not intended to be a single answer to the future cities question. Rather it is, we hope, a mapping of the landscape, highlighting the core issues raised for today and tomorrow and pointing to potential areas for further exploration.
As we go forward with further workshops during 2017 planned in London, Toronto, Dubai and Mumbai, we will be delving deeper into some of the key issues, challenging assumptions and hopefully identify new approaches and sources of innovation. We will also be sharing a full report that adds extra context and detail gained from both the insights shared to date and the new ones added during 2017.
If you would like to join in some of the forthcoming events, do let us know. Equally if you have any comments and feedback on the views in this summary, please do feel free add them into the mix via slide-share, linked-in, twitter or email. This is an initial summary that will have gaps and alternative views that may well need modification in order to better represent a global view. We thank all those who have given up time to contribute to the workshops to date and to all those will be adding in their views going forward.

This is a talk being given at the Royal College of Art in London on Monday 28th Nov. As part of the 'Intersections' lecture series it aims to highlight how bringing together different perspectives from around the world can help us see things differently and hopefully uncover new challenges and opportunities. For more details of the event see https://www.rca.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/intersections-lecture-series-dr-tim-jones-understanding-uncertainty-gaining-global-perspective/
We are very pleased to share the full report from our Future of Cities project – now available as PDF on SlideShare and as digital print via Amazon.
As previously shared in PPT format (https://www.slideshare.net/futureagenda2/future-of-cities-2017-summary), this is the detailed synthesis of insights gained from multiple discussions around the world. It brings together views on how cities are changing from a wide range of experts from 12 workshops undertaken over the past 2 years in Beirut, Christchurch, Delhi, Dubai, Guayaquil, Mumbai, Singapore, London, Toronto and Vienna.
Cities are where most of us choose to live, work and interact with others. As a result they are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and from which economic growth largely stems. They are also where significant problems can first emerge and where challenges are magnified.
This report explores some of the common challenges found in urban areas such as managing migration, countering inequality and sustainable scaling; highlights shared ambitions of having healthier, accessible and more intelligent cities; and also details some of the emerging concerns around creating cities that are safe, resilient and open to broader collaboration.
As a compilation of thoughts and ideas from a host of experts we would foremost like to thank all of the many workshop participants for their input. Without your views we would not be able to curate this synthesis. In addition we would also like to thank others who have added in extra content, shared reports and reviewed the core document. We hope that this reflects all your varied perspectives.
Going forward, we also hope that this will be of use to those leading cities, designing new districts, developing policy and exploring opportunities for urban innovation. We know that several cities are already using the insights as stimulus for challenging strategy and stimulating innovation. In addition, linking into to another Growth Agenda driven project looking at the Worlds Most Innovative Cities (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/innovation-hot-spots-countries-vs-cities-tim-jones), this is also being used as part of events designed to help future leaders identify how and where they can make most impact.
As with all Future Agenda open foresight projects the output is shared under Creative Commons (Non Commercial) and so we trust that you may find it useful. This PDF on slideshare can be freely downloaded and shared. If you want to print out the report, the easiest way is to order a digital hardcopy via Amazon (for which they unfortunately charge a fee) but this is a quick and high quality print.
We are delighted to share our insights to date on the Future of Cities. This is being released before our upcoming event in Singapore on 14 July 2016, to be led by Anupam Yog and Patrick Harris.
Future Agenda would like to thank Haworth for their kind hosting of the event on the 14th and The Partners who are kindly helping us with logistics in advance. Material here is from an initial perspective written by Harry Rich, CEO RIBA and which has been built upon subsequently with conversations in Dubai, Christchurch NZ, Singapore and Beiruit.
More Future of Cities workshops are planned throughout 2016 for Los Angeles, Shanghai, London and Dubai.

9 megatrends that will shape the World in 2030 Ranju Mohan
9 MEGATRENDS THAT WILL SHAPE THE WORLD IN 2030:
1. We all will live longer
2. Two-thirds of us will live in cities.
3. The world will become even more open — and less private.
4. The world will be prone to extreme climate changes
5. The world will be faced with increasing resource constraints.
6. Increase use of Clean Tech
7. Shift in use of Technology
8. The Global Policies and Organizations
9. The rise of nationalism and regionalism
Organisations will need to plan & develop strategies to manage this.
Future agenda 2.0 The World in 2025 - Emerging View 23 09 15Future Agenda
After completing over 100 workshops in 40 cities over the past six months, we have started the synthesis of what are the key issues for the next decade. The aim is to have the new website ready by the end of the year so that everyone can access the insights from the Future Agenda programme.
This document provides a summary of what we think we have heard during 2015 from multiple expert voices around the world – on how it is changing, what is driving this change, where will be the impacts and why these may evolve over the next decade.
From the 2010 program, 52 key insights on the next decade were shared widely and have been extensively used by organisations around the world. Across the multiple discussions this year, 86 emerging issues seem to be touching upon and connecting with eight underlying, and interwoven, themes with different emphasis in different countries. These are detailed in this presentation. We hope you find them of interest.
We have curated these 86 draft issues out of over 750 insights gained from 100+ discussions around the world. We may not have covered everything and may have included things we should not?
So we have four questions for you:
1. Which of these issues are the most important for you?
2. What is missing from this view that ought to be included?
3. Do the groups make sense and if not what should we change?
4. Are there images that don’t work for you and what would be better?
Let us know your views on feedback@futureagenda.org and we will make sure we include your recommendations as we move forward.
While the mobile sector has grown significantly over the last 5-7 years, scale and sustainability have yet to be achieved. To further explore opportunities and barriers to investment and partnership to scale mobile-enabled technology, the Rockefeller Foundation has supported the work of Mobile for Development Intelligence, an open data research portal for the developing world mobile industry.
This report analyzes market and user data to provide a fuller picture of activities in the mobile sector and present recommendations on how to accelerate economic, social and environmental impact with mobile solutions.
What will the world be like ten years from now? It is impossible to say for sure what the future will be, but we do know two important things about it. First, we know that a lot will change between now and 2025. And second, we know that those changes will matter a great deal. They will affect the lives today’s children will lead when they are young adults. They will influence the jobs they do, the way they live and the things they care about. So it is worth looking ahead so we can be prepared. What trends can you see today that will affect our lives in ten years’ time? How might you influence what the world is like in 2025?
Future Agenda - The World in 2025 - EFMD - Rome 09 03 15Future Agenda
A keynote talk on the World in 2025 for EFMD in Rome and the 2015 EFMD MBA Conference. The event is themes 'Redesigning the MBA' and is aimed at MBA Directors and business school staff involved in part-time, full-time and executive MBA programmes. This talk draws on insights from both the first Future Agenda programme in 2010 and futureagenda2.0 now underway and shares some key shifts people see taking place in the world over the next decade.
On the streets, on social networks and at the ballot box, people are voicing their discontent. They are worried about the environment. They are demanding social equality. They are advocating for better living and working conditions. And they are reacting to perceived institutional injustices. In short, they are angry at their leaders and they are making sure their voices are heard. This is not about a handful of radicals shouting from the wilderness. What we are witnessing is a massive shift in the ‘middle’. Indeed, the voices on the fringes of these issues largely remain shrill and extreme. What is changing is the quiet chorus of voices that make up the middle ground (i.e., the average voter).
For many governments, this upswelling of discontent could not be happening at a worse time. Public budgets are highly constrained (either by debt or by borrowing limits). Technologies are rapidly changing. New risks are emerging. And planning is becoming infinitely more complex. The pace of response from governments is proving to be inadequate.

Moving from a Sharing Economy to a Shared EconomyChelsea Rustrum
The sharing economy is great, but how do we integrate sharing into the very fabric of business? How can we build communities that are also companies? How can we distribute value in the form of ownership and governance to users, members, providers, participants, etc.? Using new age finance models, business structures, and current thinking, we can create hybrids that do just that!
This is a talk being given at the Royal College of Art in London on Monday 28th Nov. As part of the 'Intersections' lecture series it aims to highlight how bringing together different perspectives from around the world can help us see things differently and hopefully uncover new challenges and opportunities.

Sharing Economy is a set of practices and models that, through technology and community, allows individuals and companies to share access to products, services and experiences.
This report - part of the "Inspiring Route" project - analyses and understands the main themes related to Sharing Economy through stories, examples, numbers, case studies.

PRESS RELEASE
NEW RESEARCH GETS INTO THE UNDERBELLY OF THE SHARING ECONOMY
A U.S. Study by Leo Burnett Decodes What Brands Need to Know About the Future of American Entrepreneurship
CHICAGO – A new study by global advertising agency Leo Burnett, “The Sharing Economy: Where We Go From Here,” reveals the surprising and unspoken realities of the sharing economy in America and what’s truly happening in it. The research provides insights into how people perceive, and participate in, the sharing economy.
“The sharing economy is taking on a life of its own, but it is much more nuanced than we realized,” said Chief Strategy Officer Mick McCabe, Leo Burnett USA. “Our research reveals the psychology and the behaviors of sharers that can help guide brands including why people share and why they do not.”
Sharing has more texture than what’s largely reported in the media. People are chiefly motivated by practical needs, convenience and the ability to save or make money. A nominal 35 percent of people are primarily motivated to share by altruism, community and the environment.
About Humans Being
Inspired by Leo Burnett’s HumanKind philosophy, Humans Being is a thought leadership series and ongoing exploration that pieces together the story of us. It’s a study on the changing face of humanity in culture, society, emotion, values and the human condition. We explore the intersection of where cultural trends become norms and ultimately mores.

For more than 20 years the Internet was narrowed down to the usage
of a few tech-savvy that knew how to navigate it. It’s only in 1993-94
that it became mainstream when Marc Andreessen created
the Mosaic browser while studying at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and brought the Internet to the
general public allowing them to navigate the web comfortably with a
positive user-friendly experience. And, for the first time user could
establish an active presence over the internet by loading their own
documents, photos, sounds, video clips, and hypertext “links” to
other documents. And just like that, navigation of the internet started
to have a meaning and it made sense to a layman.
In the blockchain world, Bitcoin (2008) was the first application of the
technology, the most disruptive, and its first wave of users, just like in
the first internet era, was also more on the technical savvy
side. Despite significant immunization of capital into the blockchain
space, we have not had yet an incredible app or project that could
compare to Mosaic or Netscape.

The sharing economy: How economic activity is shifting to, and being enhanced...Andrea Silvello
The term sharing economy is widely perceived as a synonym of “collaborative economy” or “on demand economy”, but it actually represents a very wide concept which lacks a common definition.
Rachel Botsman defines the collaborative economy as “a system that activates the untapped value of all kinds of assets through models and marketplaces that enable greater efficiency and access ”. The concept behind the sharing economy is indeed very simple: anything that is not being used can be rented out. This framework includes services such as renting, bartering, loaning, gifting, and swapping of underutilized material or immaterial possessions. These idle resources are useful to create an efficient circular system by reallocating or trading them with people who want or need them. Recycling, upcycling and sharing the lifecycle of products are common features of the sharing economy. “Waste” is the result of a misallocation of resources: today technology often allows us to easily correct that misallocation, by redistributing or trading a great variety of “sleeping” assets and resources (table 1). For instance, Uber and AirBnb platforms allow customers to share cars and homes, while TaskRabbit connects people with free time with people who need someone to perform small tasks.

The study we present aims to explore several factors pertaining to Consumer Acceptance of business technology as it related to Blockchain. Identifying and developing the relevant measures is of importance to business technology managers and software development managers today. We ask the important question of “what measures best represent the established constructs of the technology acceptance model?” In order to address this issue, it is important to identify the key measurements that help us to understand the proposed constructs as they relate to blockchain technology as well as confirm their validity in isolation and in combination with each other. In this study, the factors we explore are perceived reputation, risk, and usefulness and transaction intentions. A survey was used whereby the methodology adapted previous measurements from related works and new measurements pertaining to usefulness and risk were developed in order to adhere to blockchain’s consumer acceptance framework. 268 students completed the questionnaire and an exploratory factor analysis was used in order to analyze the constructs and their measurements. Through the results we were able to identify and validate the relevant measurements as well as the proposed constructs.

Future of Off-Premise Dining - Emerging View.pdfFuture Agenda
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.

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.
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.

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 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.

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.
If you would like to be involved and add your views into the mix, please get in touch.

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/

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

Pi has not yet been launched on any exchange because we are currently using the confined Mainnet. The planned launch date for Pi is June 28, 2026.
Reselling to investors who want to hold until the mainnet launch in 2026 is currently the sole way to sell.
Consequently, right now. All you need to do is select the right pi network provider.
Who is a pi merchant?
An individual who buys coins from miners on the pi network and resells them to investors hoping to hang onto them until the mainnet is launched is known as a pi merchant.

Seminar: Gender Board Diversity through Ownership NetworksGRAPE
Seminar on gender diversity spillovers through ownership networks at FAME|GRAPE. Presenting novel research. Studies in economics and management using econometrics methods.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

across
more
plaPorms.
Today
Individual
control
of
informaEon
is
perceived
but
not
effecEve.
Major
social
plaPorms
and
established
insEtuEons
control
ever
more
data
and
seek
to
gain
value.
The
need
for
personal
access
control
is
discussed
but
not
acted
upon
at
scale.
2022
Personal
data
stores
and
privacy
agents
are
increasingly
accepted
and
commonplace.
Pervasive
and
trusted
automated
authenEcaEon
allows
for
more
informed
consent.
Personal
informaEon
manager
apps
qualify
and
quanEfy
data
sharing
and
allocate

Human
Touch
As
service
provision
and
consumpEon
becomes
ever
more
digital,
automated
and
algorithmic,
those
brands
that
can
offer
more
emoEonal
engagement
and
human-‐to-‐human
contact
become
increasingly
aSracEve.
35.
Future
Shi=
Humans
possess
an
innate,
self-‐correcEon
mechanism
that
is
sEll
difficult
to
replicate
in
machines.
As
automaEon
and
AI
have
ever
greater
impact
and
we
move
to
the
singularity,
the
role
of
people
at
key
points
in
the
process
is
prized.
Today
In
a
push
to
reduce
cost
and
provide
more
value
to
users,
services
become
ever
more
digital,
automated
and
algorithmic.
This
drives
transacEonal
efficiency
and
accelerates
growth
but
the
leaders
in
automaEon,
make
it
extremely
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
for
customers
to
meet
or
speak
to
an
employee.
2022
As
digital
efficiency
commodiEses,
real
differenEaEon
occurs
with
select
human
intervenEon
and
touches.
This
reassures
users
and
creates
significant
brand
differenEaEon.
Within
the
experience,
human
touch
increasingly
provides
and
enhances
the
moments
that
maSer
in
brand
experiences.

PlaNorm
Disintermedia<on
Enabled
by
network-‐based
soluEons
(e.g.
blockchain),
providers
and
buyers
by-‐pass
centralised
sharing
plaPorms
to
go
direct
-‐
taking
back
control,
value
and
equity.
37.
Future
Shi=
The
possibility
of
more
network
based
sharing
emerges
to
gradually
challenge
plaPorm
supremacy,
returning
more
value
and
control
to
users.
Today
The
sharing
economy
is
largely
dominated
by
centralised
plaPorms
that
provide
trusted
marketplaces
for
exchange
and
enforce
standards
(e.g.
Uber
–
the
vehicle,
driver,
insurance,
legal
etc.).
Many
of
these
centralised
plaPorms
extract
most
of
the
value.
2022
Enabled
by
new
technology
development,
some
transacEons
move
to
more
distributed
networks.
This
reduces
plaPorm
margins
and
returns
more
value
to
users.
A
baSle
for
efficiency
develops
between
plaPorms
and
would-‐be
plaPorm
disintermediaries.

Ques<ons
for
You
As
we
share
and
build
on
this
view
we
would
like
to
know
what
you
agree
with,
what
you
don’t,
what
is
missing
and,
most
importantly,
what
will
be
some
of
the
key
impacts
and
implicaEons
–
both
globally
and
regionally.
