“The Future of The Future” is a monthly Moscow forum where Russian and global scientists, thinkers, investors and builders take apart one major technological wave per evening: what is real, what is disputed, what it means for Russia - and what to do next.
The programme lives inside the Yellow Door / Innov8 Global ecosystem but runs as a major independent project - with its own editorial team, curatorial group and rules. Key guests are offered a deeper path: topic circles, and - for those who want to build the future with capital - partnership with the ecosystem’s venture fund as an LP. We discuss that in person, not from the stage.
Moderated panels of contrasting positions, startup demos, audience questions - the grammar of the evening, proven over decades in Silicon Valley.
Technological convergence, futures literacy, the path from insight to a roadmap - and responsibility for consequences.
Top-down: the big shift, the technologies, the cost curves. Bottom-up: companies, people, adoption barriers and second-order effects.
A direct continuation: Vladimir Pozner, who hosted the satellite spacebridges between Soviet and American audiences, hosts the season’s Russian studio. Hence the Future Questionnaire.
