FUTURE SCENARIO PLANNING ACROSS INDUSTRY SECTORS

SCENARIOS

Technology Management and Infrastructure

This scenario discusses balancing the use of foreign technologies (like solar panels) with locally-made management systems to protect national security. It also conceptualises an advanced rail network that functions as both a transportation and energy infrastructure.

Transparent Exhibition Platforms

This scenario proposes a unified, transparent platform for exhibition centres to share contact information with exhibitors, replacing the multiple separate platforms currently used by individual organisers.

Innovative Materials and Scientific Collaboration

This scenario highlights the need for new materials to improve efficiency and sustainability, despite challenges with specialised chemical dependencies. It suggests creating a platform to connect scientists and investors to develop these alternatives.

AI Regulation and Education

This scenario addresses the friction between big tech’s profit motives and society's need for data privacy and sustainability. It proposes government regulation to ensure beneficial AI use, paired with societal investment in education.

Energy Alternatives and International Collaboration

This scenario focuses on finding alternatives to natural gas to ensure societal safety. It advocates for international studies and collaboration between countries to lower costs and find regional solutions.

Social Integration of Robotics

The final scenario discusses the gradual introduction of robots into society on a country-by-country basis to manage potential friction with governments and the public.
