Technology foresight: capturing the benefits from science-related technologies

Ben R. Martin

Abstract

Technology foresight is a process for bringing together scientists, industrialists, government officials and others to identify the areas of strategic research and the emerging technologies likely to yield the greatest economic and social benefits. The experiences with technology foresight in six countries are summarised. A conceptual model of the foresight process is proposed, and some of the factors structuring success and failure in foresight are analysed.
