Research
Alongside an annual festival, FutureEverything is also a digital and social innovation organisation that is recognised for leading pioneering projects and important international debates.
Our company heritage is based on the successful implementation of new ideas in digital culture to provide elegant solutions to practical innovation problems. We engage our worldwide community in devising and testing innovations in art, society and technology. Digital Innovation projects have been developed in partnership with local government, private sector companies and contemporary cultural industries.
Over 17 years, the FutureEverything Labs have consistently broken new ground, each exploring an original theme, and lasting between 9 – 36 months. The projects can interface with the FutureEverything Festival, which acts as a living lab and a global dissemination platform.
FutureEverything is a catalyst for ideas, and an intermediary between a wide range of stakeholders and communities. It is embedded in academic research and business support networks, and is central to the innovation ecology in the UK.
The FutureEverything research and innovation labs have grown out of our ongoing academic and artistic relationships, including our close and reciprocal collaboration with Lancaster University’s ImaginationLancaster.
FutureEverything is non-profit, and champions free and open source culture.
