Abstract

The article summarizes the experience of technology Foresight studies carried out since 2004 in China, Japan, France, UK, USA and the EU. Despite the many differences observed between the studies, we note some significant common issues. All the foresight studies we analysed give priority to energy; health, medicine, nutrition; biotechnology / life sciences; nanoand microsystems technology; and also to ICT, electronics, manufacturing, process and material technology, environment, defence and space technologies. Herewith, all the technology forecasts we compared assumed that progression in sustainability/ environment and ICT was a prerequisite for progress in other areas.
