personal bio
I am Mira Yossifova, a futurist with a passion for transforming today's potential into tomorrow's reality. With nearly two decades of experience in governmental organizations, I've dedicated my career to foresight, innovation policy, and strategic analysis. Currently, I serve as the Director of Policy and Analysis at the Ministry of Innovation and Growth of Bulgaria, where I work on crafting strategies that prepare us for the future.
As a member of the Association of Professional Futurists and a participant in the World Economic Forum's Global Foresight Network and the OECD Government Foresight Community, I engage with global thought leaders to discuss and shape proactive responses to the era of existential risks and opportunities.
My approach to futurism is artistic and strategic; I perceive the future as a canvas where, with the right tools and insights, we can paint a masterpiece of human progress. My work involves envisioning how technology, innovation, and human creativity can merge to redefine our existence.
I'm here to inspire, discuss, and collaborate on how we can collectively navigate the complexities of the future. Whether it's through policy, technology, or education, my goal is to foster an environment where we're not just prepared for the future but are actively shaping it.
