Welcome to myForesight, Malaysia’s first national level initiative dedicated to the study and application of Foresight in prospecting technology for business. It provides a common platform to share experiences, insights and expertise on futures studies - both at the local and global levels. At this initial stage, myForesight focuses on awareness of the Malaysian stakeholders on Foresight and programmes currently being undertaken. It has also embarked on the effort to make myForesight as a joint initiative by parties interested on the future of Malaysia.
