Centre for Future Generations

CFG is an independent think-and-do tank established to assist decision-makers in anticipating and governing rapid technological change. Its mission is to ensure that emerging technologies are utilised in the best interests of humanity. In 2021, tech entrepreneur Steven Schuurman and social entrepreneur Laurens de Groot conceived the idea for CFG. By the following year, the organisation became operational, recruiting its first team members and opening an office in Rotterdam. In 2023, it established its headquarters in Brussels. The co-founders are dedicated to ensuring that powerful emerging technologies are subject to public oversight, benefiting both current and future generations.
