The National Office of Foresight & Strategy (Oficina Nacional de Prospectiva y Estrategia in Spanish) is a unit of the Presidency of the Government of Spain responsible for studying and planning the future of the country in the medium- and long-term.

[1][2][3] The Office was created in January 2020 by President Pedro Sánchez to address myopic bias, foster anticipatory thinking in government, and protect the strategic interests of Spain over the coming decades.

The official mandate of the Office is to "systematically analyze empirical evidence available to identify possible (demographic, economic, geopolitical, environmental, and societal) challenges and opportunities that Spain will encounter in the medium- and long-term, and to help the country prepare for them”.

By contrast, Spain 2050 was praised by academia,[13][14][15][16][17] industry,[18][19] and the left-wing media, which applauded its “scientific rigor” and honesty in "addressing the great problems" of the nation.

[26][27] The Dialogues were held in 17 cities, one in each of the autonomous regions in Spain, and consisted of a hundred meetings, roundtables, and civil workshops that involved more than 25,000 people, in person or online.
