Growth vision 2018
The Development Fund foresight framework 2008-2009:
NEW! On 6 May 2010 this year's Futures Forum "Globally Competitive, Locally Attractive" is dedicated to the Growth Vision 2018.
The Estonian Development Fund gives meaning to Estonian growth vision
The Estonian economy is at a crossroads - what can help us towards new growth? The focal point of the Development Fund's foresight work during the first years of its operation is to shape Estonia's economic policy vision-building. The Estonian growth vision 2018 puts together the Estonian Development Fund's leadership in conjuction with decision makers now and in the future, throughout 2009.
Joint brainwork is required, in order that the vision design does not become exclusively a small association for manual work, which does not change anything. The input for that broad-based foresight work is the Development Fund's 2008 foresight projects: Industry Engines 2018, EST_IT@2018 and Service Economy 2018. We also interpret the trends and signals coming from the external environment into the Estonian context.
Thorough background work is needed for that, so the vision does not become superficial and slogan-like. The Estonian Growth Vision 2018 seeks an answer to the question: what will bring us wealth and prosperity at the time when the Republic of Estonia is celebrating its 100th anniversary?
