The way to the future: Day in 2050

One sunny morning in the summer of 2050, Eva woke up in her cozy, eco-designed house in Bratislava. Over the past 25 years, Europe has changed beyond recognition. From 2025 until now, big cities have turned into green metropolises full of parks and community gardens. The air was clean, the traffic was electrified, and all the buildings were energy self-sufficient.

Eva put on a lightweight and comfortable suit made of recycled materials and went to work on her electric bike. Thanks to 5G technology and artificial intelligence, she had a very flexible job and solved most of the tasks from home. Today, however, she had a scheduled meeting with colleagues at a recently opened research centre.

Along the way, she noticed how people used smart benches to charge their devices, and how children played in a virtual park where they could participate in interactive educational games. This generation had access to education and information like never before.

One of the biggest changes Eve observed was an increased awareness of sustainability and cooperation. European countries have come together to achieve climate goals and promote peace. In 2050, Eva lived in Europe, where people cared for each other and their planet, and this filled her with great hope for the future.

In 2040, greenery is everywhere. Nature has returned to our cities, thanks to our ecological policies. The far right will no longer be present, and everyone will care about the climate. In fact, we've come a long way in that respect, because everyone is now careful about what they consume and what they do. We consume in short circuits and organically. People care about others, and not as they used to with the extreme individualism that almost tore us all apart. Minorities also have more rights, and everyone is accepted! Women are no longer invisible in our previously patriarchal society. Citizens and scientists have been able to make their voices heard, and politicians have had no choice but to follow their advice in their projects.

I envision a free society that respects all people, where discrimination no longer exists, where LGBTQ+ people no longer feel fear, and where they are free to travel with their children, to live and create. I envision a society where there is no room for inequality, where sexist jokes are taken as seriously as any other attack, where women truly have equal opportunities. Where politicians and public figures show respect for people, and where educational institutions no longer contain topics that are uncomfortable to talk about. Across Europe, wherever they live, whatever their gender, race, religion, health, gender identity or sexual orientation, whatever their background, they feel safe, dignified and respected. Imagine how that respect for each other allows people to create, work, dream and achieve their dreams freely - with economic prosperity, a willingness to share and help each other, people's trust in government, and security - because every citizen believes and wants to defend, even if it means by force of arms, his or her country.

En värld av solidaritet och omtanke.
A future characterized by solidarity and caring, where the capitalist consumer society has been partially replaced by a society where caring for each other is a priority. A utopia to change society before 2040 but hopefully we can take some steps in the right direction. A society where both rich and poor have access to good healthcare and education. Taking care of each other and this planet gets more focus than fighting over land.

Wereldtentoonstelling 2040
Feb 24, 2040, the World Expo will kick off in Brussels, the heart of Europe. The past 15 years have seen an economic upheaval thanks in part to good, innovative and sustainable EU policies. The EU now has the largest economy in the world, no longer the U.S. Policies in the later 1920s in the U.S. caused a lot of big companies to go belly up. European companies empowered by EU policies grew as a result and became market leaders in many sectors. With that, this World's Fair as has never been seen before! Among others: the first portable quantum computer on the go, a nuclear fusion reactor small and powerful enough to power a city, autonomous air cabs running on hydrogen, plastic-eating bacteria and much more!
