Future 2043

In celebration of its twenty years of service showcasing sustainable innovation, Springwise put twenty pivotal questions to twenty leading global futurists, including Doug Stephens, Dr. Richard David Hames, Prof. Hugh Montgomery OBE, and myself.

Exploring how we’ll work, eat, travel, live, and learn across the coming two decades, the report addresses questions such as ‘will robots and AI take our jobs?’, ‘will alternative meat go mainstream?’, ‘will people want a driverless car?’, ‘will we be healthier?’, ‘will there be another pandemic?’, ‘what are the biggest environmental threats to cities?’, and ‘will universal basic income become a reality?’.
