Swedish Technology Foresight is a national project aimed at finding the best ways of promoting long-term interplay between technical, economic and social processes.

As part of Swedish Technology Foresight, 130 representatives of the academic, business and research communities have identified Sweden's weaknesses and strengths in various fields of technology. In eight areas, panelists have looked ahead toward the year 2020. Technology Foresight does not predict what will happen, but what may happen. Its ambition has not been to plan the future but to plan for the future.

A nation's future prosperity depends on the attitudes, knowledge and skills of its inhabitants. Technology Foresight shows that the path to success and prosperity in Sweden is an active and positive desire for change, with more people wanting and daring to try new things and with everyone being given a chance for enjoyable, lifelong learning.
