About university The Observatory for Industrial Technology Foresight (OPTI) started operating at the end of 1997, as a result of an initiative of the then Ministry of Industry and Energy. Three years on, OPTI was established as a foundation, under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade. Represented amongst The Foundations trustees are Spains most important scientific and technological entities. The Foundations objective is to create a knowledgebase on the most relevant technology trends for future economic and social development, therefore providing support for decision-making regarding technology in both public and private fields. This objective stems from todays highly complex and changing technology panorama. In the current context, technology watch and foresight play vital roles as strategic tools at the service of enterprises and public administrations. the OPTI Foundation has progressively widened its presence at all levels of decision-making where science and technology are fundamental aspects. At a national level, OPTI commenced its activities with the organisation of the 1998 - 2001 Technology Foresight Programme. This programme of a multi-sectoral nature benefitted from the voluntary participation of over a thousand Spanish technology experts. The three reports generated as a result of this programme marked a before and after in the application of foresight in Spain. With this as a base, OPTI has not ceased to work in the publication of technology foresight studies of a sectoral nature, constantly expanding a knowledgebase available to all those interested. The OPTI Foundations demonstrated expertise in the study of technologies of the future, has led to its participation in the development of the 2008 - 2011 National RDI Programme. Academics Some of Spains autonomous regions have promoted foresight studies relating to sectors of special strategic importance to them. Some of the most noteworthy cases, amongst others are The Marine Technologies project, promoted by the Government of Galicia with the collaboration of the Government of the Canary Isles, comprising of four foresight studies carried out simultaneously: Fishing Technologies, Aquaculture, Marine Products Processing Industry and Technologies for the Observation and Control of the Marine Environment.The foresight study on logistics: The Future of the Supply Chain, promoted by the Government of Aragon. The foresight study on The Digital Home, promoted by the Innovation and Development Agency of Andalusia (IDEA).The foresight study on Tourism Demand in Andalusia in 2020 and its Implications in the Sector for the Andalusian Regional Ministry for Tourism, Commerce and Sports. University statistics Coinciding with the OPTI Foundations tenth anniversary, on the 15th November 2007, the first edition of the International Forum for Refection on the Future was held. Through this conference, the OPTI Foundation highlighted the important work carried out over the previous decade, aimed at providing intelligent information on the technology trends of the future through the development of foresight studies. The forum benefitted from the participation of figures of international importance from economic, scientific and healthcare backgrounds.
