OUR TIMELaFutura Global Conference in Copenhagen September 16th and 17th, 2020

LaFuturaThe Global Trend Network

LaFutura was founded 2010 in Berlin by leading trendspotters from Europe, America and Asia. With many global and local events LaFutura is the central trend intelligence network to bridge the gap between trends, innovation and tomorrow‘s opportunities.

Our Mission

It is our mission to bring together forward-thinkers to recognize all global, industry-crossing perspectives to the fullest.

The biggest challenge of innovation and future studies is the amount of different scenarios and inspirations. LaFutura helps to filter the inspiration and finally to see relevant futures clearer.

ABOUT USOur Members

LaFutura members are trend agencies, innovation and foresight experts and corporate innovation departments.

Our motivation is curiosity, co-learning, creating a positive impact for the planet and to co-create in projects together.

Where did we go?

LaFutura exists since more than 10 years with many global events in Berlin, New York, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Brussels, Vienna, Singapore, Dubai, Shanghai and lately in Lisbon.

Some of our highlights:

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALSThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

The 17 SDGs are integrated — they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
