Towards Sustainable Cities 2030 – Futures Week 2026

For the past nine years, Futures Week, organized by the Bolivia Node of The Millennium Project hosted by Universidad Franz Tamayo (Unifranz), has fostered collaborative spaces to imagine, co-create, and build solutions for future challenges. Bringing together young leaders, experts, academia, businesses, and public institutions, the initiative connects ideas, knowledge, and action to address the Sustainable Development Goals and the 15 Global Challenges through workshops, labs, panels, and innovation experiences.

Futures Week 2026, focused on Towards Sustainable Cities 2030, will take place in Santa Cruz from November 3-6, 2026. The event provides a platform to design healthier, educational, creative, sustainable, and technological cities by integrating foresight, participation, digital fabrication, and innovation. At its core lies the vision to empower new generations to not only imagine the future, but actively participate in building it through co-creation, prototyping, and concrete commitments to transform our cities.

This edition will feature prominent foresight leaders from The Millennium Project, including Guillermo Gándara, President of the Ibero-American Foresight Network (RIBER); Concepción Olavarrieta, Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of The Millennium Project and Co-Chair of the Mexico Node; and Verónica Agreda de Pazos, Rector of Universidad Franz Tamayo and Chair of the Bolivia Node of The Millennium Project.

A major highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Spanish translation of State of the Future 20.0 by The Millennium Project, featuring special contributions and insights from Guillermo Gándara and Verónica Agreda de Pazos.

The organizers welcome you to join the sessions, share insights, and contribute to collaborative foresight projects.
