Future Markets 2020 Update 2012 |
Welcome to the Survey
PLEASE NOTE: This survey will close on 20th February 2012.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Two years ago, we successfully carried out the first ‘Sustainable Future Markets 2020’ survey, and we are grateful to the many of you who took part. The findings were very revealing, and these have now been published.
During the past two years, we have seen, and continue to witness, fundamental changes (from Fukushima to the financial crisis). It is against this backdrop that we have decided to repeat the survey in a slightly expanded form. We are particularly interested in what has changed for you as a result of the volatile environment when it comes to assessing sustainable markets of the future.
We have again assumed that recognising markets of the future early on is important for society and the economy. Growth markets must be shaped and developed, particularly in view of the disruptions and global challenges we currently face. The interplay between social, political and economic players is, in our view, an important sign and a key success factor for the markets of tomorrow.
We are going a stage further, and saying that the central impetus for the growth of future markets is their contribution to solving global challenges. From Z_punkt’s perspective, these challenges are: anthropogenic climate change, sustained population growth, distribution and access to raw materials, the shape of the future energy source mix, creating sustainable patterns of mobility for goods and people, the social question of how to distribute wealth fairly, citizen participation in economic and political decision-making, as well as designing and implementing intelligent regulatory policy aimed at promoting innovation.
Following on from the previous twelve, we have sketched out an additional eight future markets—often on the basis of your responses from the previous survey, and would like to invite you, once again, to rate, expand and comment upon them. The results of this survey will be published in our next newsletter.
Yours faithfully,
Klaus Burmeister, Cornelia Daheim, Holger Glockner, Andreas Neef
