The aim of the article is to present a recent prospective technological study aimed at reconciling technological development with the long-term goal of achieving sustainable development. General scientific methods such as the systematic approach, theoretical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis have been used in the research. Conclusions: the main conclusion of the technology foresight study (especially in their ecological aspects) is that technology offers opportunities for sustainable development. But alignment of technological developments with sustainability is necessary. The secondary effects like shifting the burden from environment to space should be counteract. Also, more attention is needed for system innovations. The government is an important player on different levels (regulation, stakeholder) and should start the dialogue with relevant parties. The system approach and societal needs offer a useful conceptual framework to bring parties together. The technology foresight study could form a basis for this dialogue.
