A world based on technology that improves people's lives. Engineers and scientists are the engine of progress, and artificial intelligence is a tool that helps us, not rules us. People have balanced lives - work and hobbies are equal. Europe has become a leading economic power, surpassing America, China with technology, sustainable innovation. Wars are a thing of the past as countries have realised that power is measured in innovation, not in weapons. The streets are full of electric vehicles, cities are smart and geared to people, not just capital. Working from home and flexible schedules are the norm, giving people more time for family, sport and creativity. 2040 is proof that we have chosen the right path.
