Government Foresight Group 

The Government Foresight Group lends support to national foresight work, joint foresight processes and the development of national foresight activities. Its key objective is to help foresight activities and foresight-based information forge a connection with decision-making processes. A Secretariat assigned to the Prime Minister’s Office performs preparatory work and aids the Government Foresight Group’s work.
