Inspired by Nordic Business Forum 2025: Introducing the future-ready business trend radar

This year, at Nordic Business Forum 2025, the slogan “Moving Forward” is a call to action! It highlights foresight, growth, and culture as critical drivers of organizational success. Inspired by this, and to support leaders in making sense of the emerging forces shaping these areas, we’ve created the Future-Ready Business Trend Radar.

I put FIBRES Foresight Agents to work to scan signals, analyze patterns, and surface the most relevant insights across three core areas: Foresight, Growth, and Culture. Each sector highlights actionable insights—trends and technologies—for leaders looking to anticipate change, drive innovation, and strengthen organizational culture.

The agents tapped into over 200,000 media outlets and other sources, identified potential phenomena, synthesized these into trends, analyzed, and drafted descriptions, and much more. In the end, human validation was applied and 56 trends created by the agents were selected to the radar. You can explore these trends directly on the radar (tip: Expand to full screen or click here to open in a new tab):

How to read the radar

To make the most of the Future-Ready Business Trend Radar, here’s a quick guide to navigating it:

• Dark blue dots represent trends
• Light blue dots represent technologies
• By clicking any phenomenon, you can open a detailed description and scroll down to explore for more comprehensive insight.
• Green text highlights are links to real-world evidence, including news articles, research publications and scientific studies that back up the trend or technology.

The radar is designed to be interactive and intuitive, making it easy for you to explore the signals, understand the context, and dive deeper into the forces shaping the future of business. Keep in mind that this is just an embedded example radar, and with the full FIBRES interface, you’d also be able to explore linkages between trends and signals, interact with your team, and unlock even deeper foresight insights.

The radar combines the AI-driven power of FIBRES Foresight Agents with human curation. It’s designed to inspire you and help you see a bit further — here is where human work begins: translating emerging insights into practical foresight for your team and company.
