“From zero to foresight embedded busines model building”. We successfully completed the first LTT of "FutureCraft” project in Türkiye in June 2025. During this intensive training, participants from Türkiye, Norway, and Bosnia and Herzegovina -many of whom were novices in futures studies and foresight gained foundational knowledge in strategic foresight, with a focus on green and digital entrepreneurship. The program covered key essential concepts of futures studies, and methods of foresight within a structured framework.
A highlight of this training sessions was the innovative application of a "Mixed-method Sprint" foresight workshop inspired by the Foresight Diamond(Rafael Popper) marking its first-ever implementation in this context.
