About La Fabrique du Futur

La Fabrique du Futur is an NGO, an association under the law of 1901 created in 2006, acting as a Think Tank to engage businesses, local authorities, institutions, users and citizens in imagining and co-creating 4D futures (Discernible, Sustainable, Desirable, Disruptive).

With the aim of democratising foresight and innovation and promoting more responsible, citizen-centred innovation, it heralds a new type of think tank. It could be described as an ‘operational think network’, because of its concrete extensions and the way it operates as a network.

The Fabrique du Futur is a study and research centre, a laboratory for detecting emerging uses and a support system for companies, organisations and project leaders. Its aim is to bring together other players who share the same values and are working in the same field. The Fabrique du Futur promotes responsible foresight and innovation, reconciling science and technology with sustainable development.
