Perspectives on future trends and opportunities in a changing world – with a special focus on the Visegrad Countries

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the prospects and directions for the Visegrad nations’ economies that should be produced and highlighted, with the purpose of giving substantive conclusions that policymakers and decision makers can use to determine their economies’ future paths. Although the Visegrad countries are highlighted, the paper is a theoretical research that focuses on the technique of futures studies, specifically on determining the driving causes and significant areas, sectors – that will shape and define the future. To begin, we will examine the methodologies of futures studies and the changes brought about by the multidisciplinary approach, before highlighting and defining the positive and negative drivers of development, which will enable us to pinpoint those critical areas and sectors. The paper identifies six of these directions that can characterize and drive humanity’s growth in the coming decades and discusses how the Visegrad countries can profit from them.
