This chapter is the sketch of a possible pattern of the future world in which any kind of business will be developed in a completely new human, technological, agricultural, and commercial context, heavily and quickly changed from the one we live in now. The first objective of this chapter is to scout for the mega-technology trends that will reshape completely the future business and jobs, focusing on the agrifood industry. The second objective is to tackle the main challenges to patent inventions in terms of costs and timing in Romania, relative to other countries, and raise pragmatic recommendations. The third objective is to describe the institutional innovation called INACO (the Initiative for Competitiveness), a think-tank dedicated to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the future economy and how can a country such as Romania stay competitive in a more and more competitive world.

Cloud-based web applications are proliferating fast. Owing to the elastic capacity and diverse pricing schemes, cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers great opportunity for web application providers to optimize resource cost. However, such optimization activities are confronting the challenges posed by the uncertainty of future demand and the increasing reservation contracts. This work investigates the problem of how to minimize IaaS rental cost associated with hosting web applications, while meeting the demand in the future business cycle. First, an integer liner program model is developed to optimize reservation-contract procurement, in which reserved and on-demand resources are planned for multiple provisioning stages as well as a long-term plan, e.g., twelve stages in an annual plan. Then, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based algorithm is designed to predict the workload in the future business cycle. In addition, the approaches for determining virtual instance capacity and the baseline workload of planning time slot are also presented. Finally, the experimental prediction results show the LSTM-based algorithm gains an advantage over several popular models, such as the Holter–Winters, the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), and the Support Vector Regression (SVR). The simulations of resource planning show that the provisioning scheme based on our reservation-optimization model obtains significant cost savings than other typical provisioning schemes, while satisfying the demands.

The children we teach in school now will spend most of their lives in the 21st century. Those leaving school in the 1990s will become the parents, voters, workers, business people and visionaries of tomorrow. If all education is for the future, where is the future in education? How are we preparing the students for those responsibilities? How are we helping them to think more critically and creatively about the future?My argument is that as educators, and particularly as environmental educators, we need to engage in the task of ‘reclaiming the future’. I will illustrate this with reference to: i) the approaching millenium; ii) the need to educate more explicitly for the future; iii) the importance of being able to envision more just and sustainable futures; and iv) some thoughts on moving forwards.
