Strategic foresight entails identifying, assessing and entering new markets. For companies that want to play a part in these emerging businesses, early positioning is often crucial.

In this project, we focus on global growth areas. The project maps emerging business opportunities and conduct deeper analyses of select areas. The analysis is carried out using data analysis, surveys and through a close dialogue with relevant companies. Throughout the process we conduct round table discussions, workshops and provide meeting platforms for industry stakeholders and policy makers.

The research perspective is market rather than technology oriented with a time perspective of 3 to 5 years. Even though the studies are global in scope we particularly look at the potential role of Swedish companies and consequences for the Swedish market. The project is financed and carried out on behalf of VINNOVA, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems
