As a step of the National Innovation System, foresight activity is increasingly operated ina variety of countries. One of the major methods in the foresight studies, Horizon Scanning method isbeing penetrated in the world foresight community. We investigated such national foresight activitiesin Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea, Iran, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, China, Finland,and USA. On the other hand, we found that in Japan, corporate foresight activities are more activethan Japan's national foresight activity. In about 15 years, many Japanese corporates have adoptedHorizon Scanning method as a way of idea generation for new business developments. Howeverrecently, some Japanese corporates refocused on the same method as a way of building internal inno-vation ecosystems, in which creating their own future chronology map was effective to share commonfuture scenarios in their organizations. In Japan, sharing common future scenarios between nationaland corporate level should be a current challenge.
