Megatrends – summaries and predictions for the world of today and tomorrow

Identifying the big and small changes in society and the economy has been our job for more than 200 years. Our megatrends analysis tracks change, including growing disparities in health and wealth in society; the specialisation and sophistication of the network economy; new technology and science in materials including medicine; the threat of climate change, and how changing economic power affects corporate and social governance; moreover how capitalism itself must invest along more sustainable lines to safeguard against tragedy, injustice and instability for the benefit of us all. Pictet’s megatrends give you insights into the patterns and counter-movements that will shape the future.
