Future Now! reflects the urgency of governing in an era of acceleration. Policymakers, scientists, technologists, industry leaders, and civil society must work together to shape innovation responsibly, not after disruption occurs, but as it unfolds.

Powering Abundance is not about excess — it is about intentional design. When science, technology, and policy align, we can generate:

• Abundant clean and reliable energy

• Abundant opportunity for a diverse STEM workforce

• Abundant innovation that drives economic prosperity

• Abundant access to trustworthy information

Abundance requires investment, coordination, and forward-looking governance. It is built through partnerships that move beyond scarcity thinking toward scalable solutions. But, abundance without resilience is fragile.

Building Resilience means creating systems that can absorb shocks — technological, environmental, economic, or political — while continuing to serve the public good. It means designing:

• Adaptive policy frameworks

• Durable institutions

• Responsible emerging technology governance

Resilience ensures that growth is sustainable and progress is durable.
