How do we get from Satellite Tech to Long-term Space Exploration? Can Neurogenesis help us grow new Brain Cells? What is State of the Art in Quantum Computing right now? To dive into these revolutions in technology and research, we invite you to join us this June 25th for a silo-busting 90 minutes full of inspiration to celebrate that Foresight’s focus groups on Biotechnology & Health Extension, Molecular Machines, Intelligent Cooperation, and Existential Hope have been up and running since January 2021.
When: June 25, 10 am – 11.30 pm PT/ 7 pm – 8.30 pm CET
What: 6 months in, we invite you to break the silos of our programs before we disperse again
Who: Our focus groups and members. Apply or become an Associate member to join.
Where: Zoom link sent to group members
Every month we host keynote meetings within the groups where invited scientists, entrepreneurs, and allies cooperate on opportunities for advancing their fields.
These groups are virtual for now, which means that wherever you are based in the world you can be a part of the Foresight community and contribute to the beneficial development of technology.
We are now over six months into this year and a lot has been happening in our groups. We invite you to join us this June 25th for a silo-busting 90 minutes full of inspiration.
If you are not already a member, make sure you join us by following the steps here!

For those of you thinking you might sell some of your crypto this year- You can offset a lot of your taxes by donating some of your crypto and getting a double tax deduction. When you donate any asset, like cryptocoins, that have gone way up, you not only don’t have to pay taxes on the gain on those coins, you can deduct the full value of the coins from your other income too. Never, sell coins and donate the cash, support us directly with the coins instead <3.
