About
Future 50 Program - For nearly four decades, the Future 50 (formerly known as the Ten-Year Forecast) program has been a leading source of foresight for a vanguard of business, government, and nonprofits. It's a platform for sensing today's latent signals, tracking their intersections to understand the ecosystem of choices, and designing platforms for future resilience. This is an annual membership program that, along with all other core foundational multiclient projects, provides the building blocks for initiatives that further our mission in leading the efforts on long-term thinking, while supporting ongoing public and private sector special projects that push our research in new areas of study. The Future 50 program served over 25 members, hosted an annual conference, and provided a diverse array of deliverables to sponsors.
