The next decade will define the next century. Can you predict it? The Bridgewater and Global Citizen Forecasting the Future Challenge invites you into this complex world, focusing on two seismic forces simultaneously reshaping our time: the rise of Modern Mercantilism, where governments actively shape economies to boost national authority, cut trade deficits, and drive industrial growth; and Artificial Intelligence, which will impact every aspect of the macroeconomy and government policy.

Last year, 1,000+ people from 120 countries submitted forecasts on the impacts of the global shift to Modern Mercantilism. Now a second force is colliding with it - Artificial Intelligence. These forces are converging faster than anticipated. That collision makes Year 2 of the Forecasting the Future challenge harder - and more critical - to get right. The top five forecasters each win $25,000 and a career opportunity* at Bridgewater. *Opportunity pending successful completion of interview requirements.

Make predictions on real-world questions, explore potential early career opportunities at Bridgewater, and qualify for $30,000 in prize pool money.
