The article examines theoretical approaches to technology foresight and the possibility of its use to strengthen the cooperation of public authorities, business structures and public institutions on the design of the future and joint action to achieve it.. The definition of the formats and mechanisms of strategic forecasting is a relevant topic for Ukraine in terms of structural socio-political and socio-economic crisis. The author pays special attention to the possibilities of combining efforts of different sectors of society at the regional and local levels, which is also a topical issue, given the problems of territorial development. The article argues that the interaction of government, business and civil society in the implementation of foresight projects may affect the strategic planning of development of territories and ensure transparent interaction between the public, business and government, to unite efforts of all interested parties (stakeholders). In any case, the mutual action of all sectors of society will provide a powerful impetus to the achievement of the positive goals of the future and the economy, and public policy and in the socio-humanitarian sphere. The author also examines the specific mechanisms and methods of implementing foresight projects used in advanced countries, and the possibility of their application in Ukraine. The article concludes that Foresight as a modern technology of designing and programming of the future has the necessary methods and instrument to create policies and projects for socio-economic development of regions and communities, and the whole of Ukraine on the basis of the synergy and resources of stakeholders - the three sectors of society - government, business and civil society. The use of this technology can open new opportunities of state management in the achievement in the Ukrainian society of political consensus on the future direction of development of the country. Meanwhile, Foresight progress in academia is slow, and in practical terms, the number of foresight projects in Ukraine is insignificant and has no significant impact. This becomes an additional factor in the preservation of stagnation in all spheres of society and prevent any real strategic planning of development of regions and communities in Ukraine. Still, in thier view, there is reason to hope that foresight can be claimed by the government authorities, business and civil society. Hope - because the future will come definitely and it is impossible to prevent it.
