International rankings show that Finland is a leading country in innovation, education and training. Strong future-orientation of the Finnish society is well-known world-wide. Demonstrating futures studies as an academic discipline with Master´s and Doctoral Degrees is rare worldwide. There are exceptional organising modes of national foresight knowledge such as the Committee for the Future at Finnish Parliament as an integral part of national decision-making and the Finland Futures Academy as a national university network for futures studies education. 

In Finland, regional foresight is a legal Act enhancing prosperous futures of companies and citizens in the region. 

The FFRC will give the clients a front seat to observe the everyday work of Finnish futurists in order to provide the understanding of the Finnish foresight system. Having Finnish futures studies societies as a partner makes sure that clients get access to best possible foresight knowledge and contacts.
