The lack of a forward-looking view in today's complex and uncertain environment in the oil, gas and energy industry and the lack of a long-term perspective among policy makers, managers and executives in these fields has caused the country to incur exorbitant costs and slow down the growth of Iran in the economic and industrial fields. In a situation where external pressures such as sanctions and internal policy and management disturbances have reduced the managers' decision making and planning to daily activities, the formation of external groups in the form of think tanks and policy institutes, as a separate brain in these areas, are essential for the country's energy ecosystem. Materials and Energy Foresight Group brings together a number of specialists in the fields of future research and strategic planning in the field of oil, gas and energy, which has fulfilled part of the need for a think tank in this field. What this team is looking for is the streamlining of strategic and future-looking thinking in the country's decision-making body and, accordingly, the policy making in this field. Facilitating the decision-making process by creating "strategic intelligence" is also one of the expected results of the activities of futurist groups, including the materials and energy foresight group.
