From Foresight to Frontlines.
Charting the course to 2050 and beyond.
The future is ours to build. We invite you to join us.
Since 2012, World in 2050 has been dedicated to a singular mission: helping the future arrive well for all.
For over a decade, we have convened visionaries, fostered dialogue, and conducted rigorous research and collective intelligence to surface the best ideas for building a just and resilient world. Alongside our extraordinary community of experts and members of our Brain Trust, we have explored the most pressing challenges of our time, from the future of work to digital sovereignty, from health equity to food security.
This year marks a pivotal turning point; we’re now just 25 years away from 2050.
We are moving our focus beyond ideating and stepping boldly into our next chapter: action and impact. Across these audacious projects, we are translating vision into reality: designing and deploying solutions that challenge the status quo and reimagine systems that have long failed to serve humanity.
Our success will mean more than isolated breakthroughs.
It will mean shaping a future that arrives well for everyone. A future where technology empowers rather than exploits and where opportunity is shared rather than hoarded. A future where our collective actions today lay the foundation for progress, dignity, and possibility in the decades to come.
