The Franco-German Forum for the Future aims to foster learning from local and regional initiatives addressing societal transformations in Germany and France. It engages with selected initiatives over several years, provides a dialogue platform for actors of these initiatives, experts and policymakers; and facilitates co-design processes for policy recommendations handed over to the Franco-German ministerial council and parliamentary group.

The "Franco-German Forum for the Future" (das "Deutsch-Französische Zukunftswerk") was created by article 22 of the Treaty of Aachen, signed by the French President Macron and the German Chancellor Merkel in 2019.
