Creative production

Operational by 2040. The evolution of VR, AR and 4D printing technologies and the significant reduction in their costs are paving the way for the creation of new generation ecocrafts. The creative industry at home is flourishing. Millions of projects to create objects – from customised and customised everyday equipment to immersive works of art – are ongoing in the homes of individuals or groups of people. The objects produced are sold through new-generation marketplaces, while the consumer can intervene in their production and configure them even during the creation phase, through a process of dynamic interaction with the product and the manufacturer’s digital assistant: an AI algorithm capable of assessing and managing new requests and learning alone about the specificities of potential buyers. These projects generate new income, while low production costs allow more people to access the production process. At the same time, the fact that production is spread across many different locations allows the supply of products and services within a very short radius from the consumer’s home, which reduces the cost and environmental footprint of transport. At the same time, new forms of art are being created, with works that interact with the viewer and are transformed, and a new code of ethics is being established to protect users of immersive environments from the possibility of universal immersion in virtual worlds.

AI, green energy and equity
In 2040, I envision a world where renewable energy has fully replaced fossil fuels, making clean energy accessible and affordable for all. Solar, wind, and fusion power drive our cities, eliminating carbon emissions and reversing climate change. Air pollution is a thing of the past, and once-endangered ecosystems are thriving again. Transportation is fully electric, with high-speed trains and self-driving vehicles powered by sustainable energy. Urban areas have green rooftops, vertical farms, and efficient recycling systems that minimize waste. Advanced battery storage ensures that energy is available 24/7, even in remote regions. Technology and sustainability go hand in hand—AI optimizes energy grids, and smart homes adjust consumption to reduce waste. Hydrogen and fusion energy breakthroughs make power limitless and affordable. This future is not just about the environment; it’s about equity. Clean energy has brought economic opportunities to developing nations, bridging wealth gaps and providing reliable power for education, healthcare, and businesses. In 2040, the world is healthier, cleaner, and more connected, proving that sustainability and progress can coexist.

Evropa budoucnosti - lepší Evropa pro všechny
The Europe of 2025 is not a very pleasant sight. For several years there has been no peace in Europe, but a state of war, and Russia is at war with Ukraine. This, of course, has implications not only for Europe, but also for the whole world. The global arms race is growing, the international situation and relations between countries, not just the Eastern and Western blocs, are deteriorating. The potential for nuclear weapons attack is increasing. I imagine that by 2040 life could be different and better. There will be no more wars in the world, there will be peace in the world. Nuclear weapons will be completely destroyed. The UN will oversee global progressive demilitarization. There will be social justice worldwide. There will be no reasons for migration and the existence of refugees
