ABOUT Free Futures

Free Futures Group (FFG) is a central locus for a portfolio of entities working at the intersection of policy, innovation, manufacturing, infrastructure, and philanthropy.

We believe that the quarter century through 2050 will be the most dynamic and critical period in modern history, and one of unprecedented risk for the world's democracies. In light of the development of technology and of changes within and across countries, it is also likely to be a period of vast economic upheaval and unparalleled economic opportunity.

We aim to contribute to a world of mid-century in which the world's democracies are secure, prosperous, and at peace amongst themselves and with other states; are again growing in number; lead the world in science, technology, innovation and the dissemination of innovations that benefit humanity; and offer the entire world a model of stability, plenty, and freedom.
