Who are we?

The Center for Future Design (CFD) is a research, education and advisory center for futures literacy. Our goal is to teach sustainable futures literacy and to develop new social techniques to successfully shape the future.

Central to this is the questioning of thought patterns, the early recognition of upheavals and the identification of new fields of action. Our work is based on an integrative approach of combining our scientific foundation with a practical, results-oriented focus on real challenges.

What we offer

We make you fit for the future. Specifically, we support your organization in shaping its future, help in anticipating upheavals in advance and preemptively developing new areas of action, and analyze today’s fields of activity from different frames of reference and call existing thought patterns into question. This opens up new perspectives for development.
