About IFTF

The Institute for the Future (IFTF) is an independent nonprofit research group in Silicon Valley. We work with organizations of all kinds to help them make better, more informed decisions about the future. We provide the foresight to create insights that lead to action. The Institute is based in Palo Alto, a community at the crossroads of technological innovation, social experimentation, and global interchange. IFTF was founded in 1968 by a group of former RAND Corporation researchers with grants from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation and the Ford Foundation to take leading-edge futures research methodologies beyond the world of classified defense work.
