Values & Visions 2030: The future study with 5 megatrends

Values & Visions 2030 looks to the future and at the same time takes a bird's eye view of the world. The aim is to identify five megatrends - five major trends that are currently shaping world events.

How will our (surrounding) world change under the influence of these megatrends of algorithmization, exploitation, design, fragmentation and re-localization? How can these changes be categorized? What values are important to people in a world of change? What will be important to them in the future?

Especially in recent times, people have been confronted with an overlay of different crises. What influence do current world events have on how they look to the future?

Values & Visions 2030 in the updated version with the 2023 update (first edition 2018) looks for answers to these questions - and identifies Germans' hopes and aspirations as well as their fears.

For whom are the Insights interesting?

Decision-makers in companies, marketing and product development managers who want to develop adaptable and future-oriented strategies.
