The National Council of Innovation for Development is a government institution with public and private members that reports directly to the President of Chile. It was founded in 2006 to advocate for science, technology and innovation as a way for achieving development, in the context of concerns about our country's future amidst an increasingly complex and uncertain world. In this session we will present the evolution of the anticipatory thinking of the Council for the past 15 years, beginning with the view of the future around the economic-centered view that was mainstream in 2006 and ending with the acknowledgment of the relevance of the emergent futures. We will also present the challenges we faced while we changed our views on how to think about innovation and the future.
