Anticipating 2027

The past is important, but what lies ahead is even more critical. How we navigate through uncertainties requires unity amongst ourselves, faith in our institutions with a sense of discipline in our decision-making process. We aspire for the Lab to create the ecosystem that builds an inherent people-centric foresight approach as a way of thinking.

The world changes as people ideate, invent, and innovate; and yet the societies continue to challenge, adapt, re-learn. The technological growth patterns and the social implications are converging exponentially determining the shifts in human security paradigms. As the population continues to grow, and there is significant progress in life expectancy; these shifts can only be rationalized and managed as by effective and efficient use of technology. While the challenges for human well-being will keep presenting themselves, Foresight Lab is a facilitative platform which connects the process of collective thinking building on agreed set of prioritized opportunities for prudent sustainable solutions. This data-driven strategic foresight research, development and analysis aims to deliver public goods. Sustainability being the guiding paradigm; Pakistan's future depends on the choices we create today and the decisions we make for tomorrow's generation and without improving Pakistan's foresight outlook the challenges that confront the society today will only compound in the coming years.

Pakistan Foresight Initiative is designed to embark on a continuous learning process; one that explores emerging ideas and values reflecting on medium to longer-term thinking contributing to policy actions that are dynamic, resilient and transcendent. This journey is one which is journeyed together.
