Discover our purpose, principles, areas of work and phased development direction at Define Future Technology in Nanjing, China.
PURPOSE / PRACTICE
Not predicting one future.
Opening ways to participate.
We are not here to predict a single future. We ask who can help shape what comes next, how to understand change and what can responsibly be done today.
We bring futures research methods, AI-assisted capabilities and everyday digital experiences together. Complex questions should not remain only in reports: they should inform creativity, conversation, judgment and action.
Help more people understand possible futures, shape them together and act responsibly in the present.

PRINCIPLES / HUMAN AGENCY
Technology expands capability.
People make the choices.
Building a tool also means taking responsibility for its possible effects. Plurality, evidence, human agency and testable action guide our product work.
Imagination needs evidence
Distinguish facts, assumptions and unknowns so judgments can be traced, discussed and revised.
People retain agency
AI supports research and creativity; it does not replace human values, review or responsibility.
Begin with action
Turn broad ambitions into small experiments that people can join, test and learn from.
NEXT / BEYOND
Build useful products. Then connect them.
Near term / 0–12 months
Strengthen products and foundations
Refine core web and mobile experiences, with sound baselines for releases, reliability, security, privacy and intellectual property.
