Panel discussion | 10 Years From Now: Imagine the Unimaginable

When envisioning the future, we often fall into the trap of simply extrapolating current technological trends, assuming they will grow linearly in scale or speed. Yet, history repeatedly shows that this approach is flawed. True breakthroughs are rarely predictable and often emerge from unexpected intersections of technology, society, and innovation.

What lies beyond our current horizon? What transformative ideas, disruptive technologies, or societal shifts are we missing? To imagine the unimaginable, we must challenge conventional thinking, explore the unknown, and prepare for scenarios that defy today’s assumptions. The question is not just what the future holds, but whether we are ready to see and shape it.
