A green field for futurologists. A playing field for ideas jugglers. An open field for trend scouts. A cuisine for gourmets. And a source of inspiration for thinkers. That's the GDI.

The GDI researches mega-trends and countertrends, gathers knowledge and uses it to draw up scenarios for the future. It publishes its findings in a range of publications. But the "Park im Grüene" is also a meeting place for people with an appetite for knowledge and a taste for fine food. Besides staging its own events, the GDI makes its spaces and infrastructure available for corporate or private events. The focus of its activities is always on people – their attitudes, motives, habits, desires and fears – and on how they will change in the future.
