    The Summit 202620 March - 20 March 2026

    An annual gathering exploring the possible futures of emerging technologies. The Summit is a Nordic gathering for leaders, innovators, and forward-thinking organisations who want to explore the futures of emerging technologies and understand their profound impact on business, society, and organisational readiness. It serves as a meeting point for those who not only wish to follow developments in artificial intelligence, immersive experiences, and emerging technologies, but also want to shape how these forces influence the way we work, make decisions, and build future ecosystems. ‍ Hosted by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and curated by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), the conference focuses on foresight, technologies, preparedness, and futures-driven innovation. Through keynotes, panel discussions and focused dialogues, we examine both opportunity and risk, asking how innovation can be aligned with responsibility and long-term value creation. ‍ The Summit focuses on what lies ahead: Possible futures, strategic choices, and the readiness it takes to act responsibly as technologies evolve. It is not only about trends and tools, but about strategic foresight - identifying possible futures, and understanding the readiness it takes to act wisely and courageously as technologies continue to evolve.

    The 2026 edition takes place in Copenhagen on 20 March 2026 (09:00–18:00 CET) at H. C. Andersens Blvd. 18, 1553 København - Industriens Hus. Themes include the AI-mediated workplace, leadership in the future, emerging technologies (including AI agents, simulations and humanoids), the future consumer, retail in transformation, and the futures of foresight.

    The Summit is a Nordic gathering for leaders, innovators, and forward-thinking organisations exploring the futures of emerging technologies and their impact on business, society, and organisational readiness. Co-hosted by Danish Industry (DI) and curated by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), the conference brings together keynotes, Nordic cases, and conversations on preparedness and responsible, meaningful action.

    From Intuition to Immersion: The Resonant Future Self Framework Makes Foresight Felt

    What if we could test-drive our future selves?

    Most scenario workshops stay in the head. The Resonant Future Self Framework flips that script by letting participants embody possible futures through immersive narrative experiences - while their brains and bodies react in real time. Peaks of coherence in EEG and heart-rate variability become “north-star signals” that guide purpose discovery. The method weaves together generative AI, emotional storytelling, and biometric sensing to open a new path toward deeply felt, personal foresight.

    First public presentation – Vienna, May 2025
    The framework was introduced at the Futures4Europe Conference 2025 – Exploring Future-Oriented Collective Intelligence (Vienna, 15–16 May), organised by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology as part of the Eye of Europe flagship initiative. The presentation focused on the conceptual foundations of the method, shared results from the first single-participant pilot study, and outlined how emotional resonance - measured through real-time physiological signals - can enrich scenario work with an embodied, intuitive layer of decision-making.

    Next stop – AIMEDIA, Venice, July 2025
    From 6–10 July, the project will be featured in the AI in Immersive Media track at the First International Conference on AI-based Media Innovation (AIMEDIA 2025) in Venice.

    The presentation will cover the generative narrative pipeline that produces the six personalised future-self videos, share expanded pilot-study findings (including EEG and HRV analysis), and preview ongoing efforts to partially automate the scripting, visual generation, and video assembly process using tailored AI workflows.

    While human editing and quality control remain essential, these steps point toward a future in which the method becomes faster, more scalable, and easier to adapt across educational, coaching, and wellbeing contexts.
