Just as the advent of smartphones and artificial AI has completely changed the way we work and live our lives, even in society a few years from now, it is unpredictable. Even in the business world, it is becoming difficult to produce groundbreaking products and services using just trend forecasts and consumer surveys that start from the present.

What is needed is "future insight." "Design Futures Collective" was launched as a place for people to learn and put this insight into the future.

With the slogan "Better Capitalism - an economy that surrounds gentleness," economic media " Business Insider Japan ," which has reported on signs of the future, and IDL [Infobahn Design Lab.], which has supported corporate vision and business development, is jointly running the company by combining different expertise in media and design. This program aims to cultivate the ability to conceive a desirable future society in an uncertain age and utilize it in business strategies.
