NEAR FUTURE: What went down

We are still reveling in all the magic that was Near Future 2025, which is being hailed as the best yet. There were so many staggeringly brilliant solutions that we've included a few of the most timely, but for a full list of presenters, please check the website over the next couple of weeks, as we roll them out.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM NFS 2025

HELLO TELO

Yves Behar and Forrest North got us all charged up when they unveiled the super compact, yet deceptively spacious, fully electric Telo Truck. If you're heading to Detroit for Summit in a couple of weeks, Yves will be keynoting on June 5th. Hope to see you there!

Dates: June 5-8, 2025

BIO-LOGICAL

Paul Coletta went from being CEO of Urban Remedy to his latest venture, Vero Biosciences, which is on a mission to empower people to take their health into their own hands by measuring and optimizing biological aging at the organ level, long before disease begins. Powered by proprietary AI, Vero analyzes thousands of proteins from a single blood test to reveal the biological age of over 20 organs, which can lead to early disease detection. Join their waitlist for early access.

MUST SEA

Kind Designs, Founder & CEO, Anya Freeman blew everyone away with her kind-a awesome win-win-win breakwater strategy. Building sustainable seawalls that attract marine life, are cost-effective, and develop safer coastal communities had even the landlocked floored. 

OUR NEW BFF: ROZZI

Still pinching myself that Rozzi, the soulful creator of the definitive BFF ballad "Best Friend Song," performed it live with my besties in the audience. Then the next day, her hauntingly beautiful song, "Orange Skies" brought us to tears, leading into the Fire(Resilience)side Chat.
