Nothing is as constant as change: Today's emerging social change, potential technological breakthroughs and proposed regulatory interventions will change the rules of the game, the need for innovation and organizations in the future. For this reason, the team is scanning for the second time since 2016 specifically for these so-called Gamechangers to prepare Evonik well in advance. 
 

Feeding the world's population is one of the great challenges of our time. The Foresight Team developed a holistic outlook on the future of the global food value chain and derived new innovation opportunities for a sustainable food production.

Based on over 100 interviews with internal and external experts from the fields of chemistry, politics, business and futurology as well as numerous workshops and analyses of international futurology studies, the team developed scenarios for the possible future of specialty chemicals in the year 2040.

Game changers are developments that have the potential to completely change the rules of existing markets and companies. The team identified game changers and derived 39 action areas for Evonik, which will now serve as a source of inspiration, basis of discussion, and future orientation guide in the Group.
