The Idea
About Us
Navigate the Future was born in 2021 aiming to tell stories and give practical advice about future industry trends and living concepts, emerging new professions and skills. Cooperating with industry trend setters, researchers and universities we will bring ideas about futuristic jobs and educational tracks to get there.
Mission
Our great mission is to get young people involved and make them highly motivated about their careers choices and education in the rapidly changing world. To stimulate young people's interests and career plans towards emerging new professions and future skills, which will facilitate early goal setting and decrease future youth unemployment.
Vision
Our world is changing day by day not asking us if we like these changes or not. What appears as science fiction today may become our reality in the near future. One day we may decide to go on vacation to Mars while our kids will be practicing vertical farming back on Earth. This may come sooner than we expect.
Our Team
Ella Kalnina
Having worked in education management for 20 years I made a sharp turn in my career and switched to knowledge intensive entrepreneurship. My passionate interest in creativity and innovation has brought me to the world of science and research-based business. I am developing my biotechnology company and I am mentor and advisor to budding technology entrepreneurs. Over the last few years I have met many people with backgrounds in science and technology looking for changes in their career. And vice versa – people with non-scientific backgrounds seeking engagement in technology business. This raised my curiosity and professional interest in career choices and navigating careers in the ever-changing world.
Tatjana Bonda
I have been an entrepreneur, a top marketing manager and a business manager for many years. I have established and run several businesses and I have successfully completed both small and large projects. However, I never stopped learning. The most valuable learnings from my recent EMBA course in SSE Riga are “Do not set a small scale for your goals!” and “Do not work at a job you don’t like!”. Raising my daughter and coaching her about which profession and which university to choose I realized how important it is to be brave and stay with the things you love to do and dream about. Now I want to help other parents to be an inspiration to their children in making their dreams come true.
