GLOBAL TRENDS 2021
Making sense of the future: Netexplo’s mission is more vital than ever this year. But in such an unpredictable world, does that future still exist? Yes. In the minds of the men and women behind the innovations that we spotted around the world in 2020/2021.
Why “THE NEW NOW”?
The New Now is an invitation to reinvent the present.
1/ The present is not what it was: this is an invitation to recreate the only time we have. The future is uncertain and the past is stored as big data. What shall we do with the present?
2/ Being in the here and now: it’s time to take our responsibilities and meet the challenges thrown up by today’s new reality.
3/ A world to explore: if we stop seeing ourselves through the lens of prediction, we can focus on what’s around us, here and now.
LINKING CITIES 2021

For 25 years we have been talking about smart cities. But what do we mean by smart, and does it work?
As part of the solution, sociologist Bernard Cathelat argues we should move beyond the Smart City to a new model of Linking City, a holistic city where technologies forge interactive links between all social, economic and cultural stakeholders.
In addition, Netexplo, with the help of its global network of lecturers at leading universities, analyses 10 cities selected with UNESCO in 2021 as outstanding examples of urban innovation on 10 essential topics.
