Megatrend methodology to identify development opportunities

A megatrend methodology was developed in order to determine the development opportunities for each of the states in Mexico. The methodology consists of the identification of an area of knowledge and then the application of each of the seven steps of the methodology (including literature review, experts interviews, tracking of emerging technologies, identification of stakeholders, etc.), which allows to be able to describe a possible scenario. This methodology has already developed 12 technological megatrend reports; these reports have been used for a larger planning exercise using industrial cluster data, as well as geographical, economical, political data to determine development opportunities for each state. This research focuses on the development of the previously described Megatrend methodology.
