What is the 10F Consortium? 

The 10F Consortium is a collaborative public service foresight project that brings together 20+ experienced practitioners to map critical global shifts over the next decade. Unlike proprietary consulting reports or institutional forecasts, 10F Consortium operates as an independent network providing open-source analysis of systemic changes reshaping our world. The project produces 10 critical forecasts covering domains from global trade systems to technology governance, climate adaptation to migration patterns.

Why is it called "10F"? 

We are focused on providing value in the output of our collective thinking — providing ten focused analyses of major transformations reshaping the next decade and beyond.

How is the 10F Consortium different from other futures networks? 

First, we have not been convened by an outside institution. This effort came from within our practitioner network, driven by a common desire to provide clarity during a precarious moment. Second, we operate without institutional constraints or commercial bias, allowing us to be more direct and honest in our analysis. Third, everything is released under open licence as a public resource, not locked behind paywalls or membership gateways. 

Who are the participants? 

Our network includes experienced global professionals drawn from strategic foresight, public policy, sustainability, technology development, energy futures, urban planning, risk intelligence and development sectors. Participants span 15+ countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Germany, Spain, the US, UK, Mexico, Kenya, Estonia, UAE, France and the Netherlands, with collective working experience across more than 50 countries.

Why is this happening now? 

We're documenting transformation in real-time. The reorientation of US power, combined with accelerating climate impacts, AI development and institutional breakdowns, has created a critical inflection point. Recent developments include intractable conflicts exposing global security breakdowns, unprecedented AI investment ($400+ billion in 2025), accelerating climate damage (40% above decade average), collapsed institutional trust, social fragmentation and rapid shifts in the multipolar order.

Who is funding 10F? 

Our initial funding comes from a generous grant from the Tingari-Silverton Foundation.  Headquartered in Austin, Texas, The Tingari Silverton Foundation supports innovative, systems-changing initiatives around the world that contribute to positive amplified impacts for critical global challenges.

Who else is involved?

The 10F Consortium operates as an independent practitioner collective with administrative partnership from Singapore-based Syinc, which serves as the project's fiscal sponsor. Syinc’s principals are also valued contributors to the 10F forecasts.

What is proper attribution for 10F forecasts?

When quoting or using 10F forecasts whole or in part, please include attribution to 10F Consortium/TSF/Syinc. We are providing these forecasts and supporting material under open license, using a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) license.

Is this a one-time project?

We're starting as a one-off initiative, but we've structured 10F so we can extend the work to specific requests or needs. Our audiences and participants will guide whether this continues. Anyone involved is free to extend the work in commercial or non-commercial engagements. We also welcome discussions around partnerships and additional philanthropic support as we widen our activities in the coming year.

How can organizations get involved?

The best way to engage is to use the forecasts and other tools we provide when they're released in early 2026. We can also provide a roadmap for running your own 10F-style process. Post-release, organizations can reach out to 10F or contact listed members directly about specific applications of the forecasts, extensions of them to specific sectors, regions or use cases, or adaptations of our methodology. Each practitioner member is free to use and extend these forecasts on behalf of the organizations they work with through direct engagements, or with other members of 10F.

Practitioners in the 10F network work with organizations across sectors and can help adapt these frameworks to specific strategic contexts. Contact 10F Project Leads to explore how.

What's the long-term vision?

If successful, we hope the methodologies we use and develop can be improved and replicated to respond to other disruptive changes, with different domain or geographical focuses, while expanding a collaborative network of futurists doing horizon scanning and research.

We're prototyping "emergency futuring," that is, rapid response foresight for moments of high uncertainty and growing systemic risk.
