The project naming and visual identity suggest a place at the confluence of disciplines, an ideas activator, and the ability to shape and influence public debates. The visual identity supports the idea of building a world-class and go-to platform for high-impact research, discussions, and strategies that inspire cross-industries, cross-disciplinary, systematic, and exponential transformations. Preventing extreme social risks requires expert information and actionable engagement across sectors, disciplines, public and private entities, and the general public.
Confluential publishes high-leverage, big-impact, and cross-sectorial knowledge. The featured interventions, research, and prototype solutions seek to align advanced technologies and design thinking, generating pragmatic action around interconnected risk factors, climate change, and societal developments. With six global drivers set to transform our world by 2030—accelerating technologies, climate crises and resource scarcity, evolving demographics, micro-globalization, fragmented societies, and an urbanized world—, Confluential bridges a publishing gap and contributes to the democratization of research and information for the benefit of society.
The editorial project has three main objectives. First, to provide valuable knowledge, research, and information that drives systemic change through collective and cross-sectorial action. Second, to become the go-to resource for research-driven information and ethical solutions at the intersection of technologies, climate, design, social responsibility, cultural diversity, and community engagement. Third, to build a cross-industries community that questions how we generate concepts, products, services, and design solutions in an age marked by increased societal risks.
