THE 311 INSTITUTE IS A GLOBAL FUTURES THINK TANK, WORKING BETWEEN THE DATES OF 2020 AND 2070, AND WE HELP ORGANISATIONS, REGULATORS AND GOVERNMENTS ENVISION, BUILD, AND LEAD AN INCLUSIVE FUTURE THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE.

If you’re in a hurry to learn how you can prepare yourself or your organisation for the dramatic transformation of all areas of life that lie ahead in the future then you’re in great company with us. Founded in 2016, the 311 Institute has grown into one of the most prominent think tanks for futures thinking and digital transformation in the world, working with the G7, and industry visionaries. We prime and prepare people for the “great challenges” that lie ahead and bring people together to come up with unconventional answers to everyday challenges that range from the mundane and the extraordinary, to the unbelievable and the unimaginable.

“We’re optimists who believe that technology can be used for the good of all humanity. That’s why we want to educate and inspire people, and put them in a position to understand and use exponential technologies,” says Matthew Griffin, Founder and CEO of the 311 Institute, referring to technologies such as artificial intelligence, gene editing, nanotechnology, semiconductors, and beyond, whose power virtually doubles every year.

In Griffin’s view, for example, society has a lot of catching up to do if we are to be ready for a ubiquitously connected future in which virtually any question, even a complicated medical diagnosis, can be answered with a dense network of sensors and intelligent devices.

“As soon as students graduate from a university, their knowledge is often already outdated. It would be naive to ascribe magic powers to new technologies, but they can unlock new opportunities for tackling humanity’s great unsolved challenges, from poverty and hunger to education to health. We believe,” adds Griffin, “in a future of abundance, of energy, of food, of and of resources of all kinds, not of deprivation. And we should all help build this future for the benefit of all of us, not just one country, or the elites.”

AWESOME RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE BEDROCK OF GOOD BUSINESS. WE ALSO BELIEVE EVERY OPINION IS VALUABLE, AND THAT WE SHOULD BE SELFLESS IN EVERY ENGAGEMENT, PUTTING OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS INTERESTS AHEAD OF OUR OWN.

WE ARE A LEADING VOICE PROMOTING A BETTER, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL. WE FOLLOW THE UNITED NATION’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS, AND MEASURE IMPACT BY THE NUMBER OF LIVES WE IMPROVE, THE IDEAS WE INSPIRE, AND THE EQUITY WE BUILD.

“THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE. WE AIM TO ENSURE IT IS EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED.”
