Megatrends and trends
• Changes of work and income distribution and their effects on well being and societies
• Sources of materials and energy are under development, production processes become more biotechnical but we are still dependent on fossil systems and structures for a long time (decades) and this slows the development of bio-economies.
• Technologies are creating more possibilities and the time frame from scientific discovery to technological application shortens.
