Based in Palo Alto, California, the Institute for the Future is an independent, nonprofit research organization designed to help organizations—primarily Fortune 500 companies—plan for the long-term future. The institute was founded in 1968 with a grant from the Ford Foundation to take leading-edge research methodologies into the public and business sectors.

Core research staff and creative designers work together to provide practical foresight for a world undergoing rapid change. The institute’s staff is made up of experienced forecasters representing a range of disciplines from the social sciences, public policy and technical domains. These staff members are joined by creative designers who render research in accessible and innovative print and digital formats for ease of accessibility.

The institute maintains research programs on the futures of technology, health and organizations. It publishes a variety of reports and maps, as well as a blog on emerging technologies.
