What can we learn from Silicon Valley?

In this first of three conversations historian David Larsson Heidenblad and tech analyst Björn Jeffery discuss the ideas that have shaped the tech companies of today.

How does life in Silicon Valley work? What can you learn, and use, from these ideas in your daily business? And what can the fairly short but very influential history of the California ecosystem tell about the future of innovation and technology?

The ”Visions of the Futures We Build” exhibition was celebrated with an opening seminar. It features four visions for a sustainable built environment, and is open at Form/Design Center until March 16.

We want to evolve what an annual futures gathering can be. We want to build on our Collaborative Foresight approach. We want to better understand what folks who take part in The Conference need. We need to look at the long arc of hosting a gathering in our brilliant and rapidly-changing city, Malmö. And we want to be courageous in pausing and reflecting, and owning the ambiguity of not knowing, together.

We are taking a pause – The Pause – to actively sense, test and participate in gatherings to understand how we want to gather in professional contexts and how we build agency, confidence and capacity to shape the futures we want to see.
