Working through our esteemed panel of F:N 66 Guild and global experts, we’ve pulled together our short list of candidates that should be recognized and noted for their clairvoyant, groundbreaking innovation & growth efforts as we’re about to ring in the next decade.
In our tenth episode of Futureproofing Now, we project what companies should likely be owning the future. Unlike many magazines’ efforts, it’s not because our editor had drinks with the company CEO, or that we saw they raised a lot of money on Crunchbase or that we live in NYC/Silicon Valley/London (insert big city here) so i guess we should reward the big local hero. No, we’ve scoured the earth the find the big (or getting bigger), bold and beautiful that are challenging convention and winning the future..
