We bypass the noise to decode the signals of tomorrow.
Futures Pulse is a joint expedition with the pioneers, futurists, and outliers re-defining the edges of tomorrow.
Witnessing Emerging Realities
The mainstream waits for the future to become inevitable. We don’t.
Futures Pulse is an expedition to the edge. We meet the architects of tomorrow before their ideas hit the headlines. We track “weak signals” – the subtle shifts in technology, culture, and power – that others ignore until it’s too late.
With its different formats, Futures Pulse acts as a radar for the unknown. We meet those who work on the frontiers of tomorrow and go on a joint expedition. We take you beyond the mainstream to witness emerging realities before they become the inevitable.
Your Guide on the Frontier
Futures Pulse is a format developed and hosted by Prof. Dr. Laura Bechthold, an award-winning researcher, advisor and science communicator.
Laura is Professor and Co-Founder of the Bavarian Foresight-Institute and member of the Club of Rome Germany. Leveraging her natural synesthesia – an ability to perceive time and data as spatial landscapes – she spots the weak signals and patterns in the chaos that others overlook.

Futures Pulse is the rapid-response initiative of the Founders Foresight Panel. We take the Panel’s rigorous foresight methodology out of the boardroom and onto the streets to pressure-test tomorrow’s trends against reality.
