Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of strategic foresight in supporting the sustainability of ‎startups in an uncertain environment. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, ‎supported by a case study of Natural Lab, utilizing various qualitative and quantitative tools such as ‎interviews, observation, and analysis of the organization's internal documents. ‎The study's findings confirm that adopting a strategic foresight approach contributes to ‎improving the ability to predict future changes and rationalize strategic decisions. This approach also ‎enhances organizational resilience and reduces operational vulnerability. Furthermore, the absence ‎of foresight limits an organization's sustainability in an unstable environment. Keywords: Strategic foresight, strategic planning, startup sustainability, uncertain environment, ‎Natural Lab company. ‎ Jel Classification Codes: D81; O21; M10; L26‎
