What are appealing formats for discussing trends, scenarios, and futures and developing corresponding strategies? The ‘AnticipaTech’ project of the Bavarian Foresight Institute at THI is exploring this question with Quentin Ladetto from the Foresight Programme of the Federal Office for Defence Procurement armasuisse.

In a workshop in Ingolstadt, they tested the prototype of a so-called ‘scenario game’. Over 40 foresight experts took part in exploring technology trends and megatrends within a scenario framework. ‘We want to bring together stakeholders from business, society and science,’ explains Professor Jan Oliver Schwarz.

The Bavarian Foresight Institute focuses on technology-oriented futurology and the associated economic and social interdependencies. Synergies are to be created with the technology-orientated research institutes at THI, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, sustainability, and mobility.
