For this webinar ABIS will use the ‘Webex’ platform. You are invited to register by sending an email to info@euinnovate.com.

In this interactive session we will share emerging insights from the changing nature of citizens in the future and what that means for enabling sustainable lifestyles. We will take some time to explore and discuss what that could mean for how businesses relate to consumers and society both now and in the future.

These insights have been gathered with help from a network of FutureShapers – those who are already exploring the opportunities of citizen-driven innovation and enterprise presents for individuals, business and governments. This event will be of interest to those interested in the role of futures in generating insight and innovation and people who are interested in the business response to how business and society can work together to enable sustainable lifestyles.
