Summary/Abstract: The world is currently facing many changes, not only technological ones, but also economical and geopolitical changes as well as those in the way of thinking. We must bear in mind that every change creates new opportunities as well as challenges. Without doubt the key to shaping the future should be creativity and imagination. It is equally important to skillfully use the opportunities that technology brings, so as to acquire new knowledge and create new values, by creating connections between people and objects and between worlds – real and virtual. It gives new opportunities for seeking and finding effective ways of solving problems in society, creating better living conditions, as well as maintaining proper economic growth. However, for the above to be possible, it is necessary to overcome various types of barriers and obstacles, which should be facilitated by the inclusion of many diverse stakeholders (on many levels), so that a shared vision of the future may be created. The idea of Society 5.0 is not a utopian vision of the future, but it is a concept that shows one version of the future to which the World, or at least its richer part, is heading. The article presents the basic assump ons of the title idea, and due to the broadness of the issue, typically technical issues are deliberately omitted.
