Our Foundation has established the Future Potentials Observatory Nonprofit LLC in January 2023. Its misson is to investigate, analyse and present the future potentials of social entities (such as family, organization, country), geopolitical frontiers, innovation and design horizons – all in an EAST-WEST context.

The holistic concept of future potential expresses the readiness of social entities (e.g. family, organization, country) in terms of their ability to preserve a good life for their members in a unity of order through the strategic management of future changes.

The foundations for good life is provided by peace and security, attachment, care, and balance, while changes appear and require strategic management in the fields of ecology-geopolitics, technology, socio-economy and culture.
