Abstract: 

1. In today’s hyperconnected world, Flanders advocates for a multi-level approach in strategic foresight, stressing the importance of regional, national and subnational collaboration in foresight endeavours.

2. Flanders uses four key functions in its strategic foresight work – discover, explore, map and create – to navigate a volatile world, ensuring evidence-informed policymaking.

3. Through workshops and knowledge exchanges, Flanders encourages stakeholders to share insights regarding global challenges and best practices in foresight methodologies.

4. By fostering a culture of anticipation and adaptation, multi-level strategic foresight empowers governments to navigate uncertainty and build resilience collaboratively.
