Futures Intelligence in 2026 and beyond

What's changed, and what AI can - and can't - do

The practice of thinking systematically about the future has never been more relevant. It has also never been more disrupted. AI is reshaping how organisations scan weak signals of change, analyse emerging trends, and approach futures knowledge. But speed and rigour are not the same thing. And in a world flooded with generated content, the question of what to trust has become as important as what to analyse.

In this session, we speak with Soile Ollila, Head of Foresight at Business Finland, about how foresight practice is evolving at the frontier, inside one of the most innovation-focused national agencies in the world. We look at what has genuinely shifted - in tools, in team and stakeholder expectations, in the pace of change - and what the core principles of good futures work still demand. We explore where AI adds real value, where human expertise remains irreplaceable, and how to build a systematic foresight practice that holds up under uncertainty.

We cover:

  • How foresight practice is evolving in 2026 - and what holds and what has changed

  • Leading foresight inside a national innovation agency: key lessons from Business Finland

  • When AI can meaningfully contribute to foresight work, and where it falls short

  • From insight to decision: closing the gap that most organisations struggle with
