BusinessFutures breakfast seminar

It is estimated that half the FTSE 250 in 2025 will be made up of firms that were not even born in 2014. So what will the business world look like in 25 years’ time?

We can’t predict the future but we can look at the most likely scenarios. The ICAEW is developing its BusinessFutures project to consider the issues which will affect the future of business.

Last year ICAEW launched the BusinessFutures project in Liverpool, at the International Festival for Business, which explored the issues that will affect businesses over the next 20 years. Four key issues including changing education needs, demand for water, ageing population and changes in tax regimes were discussed.

This year we have establishes three new groups which we will look at the impact in how we access energy, new developments in urbanisation and changes in public spending. More information on the BusinessFutures project can be found here.
