Introduction and Partnership
On April 30, 2025, the Museo Interactivo de Economía (MIDE) and Profuturo launched a groundbreaking immersive room, “Tu Yo del Futuro,” dedicated to personal finances. This innovative collaboration aims to transform the way people perceive their future by integrating games, emotion, and technology.
Arturo García, General Director of Profuturo, emphasized the importance of small changes in shaping one’s future: “The future begins with the small changes we make today, and this new room allows us to connect with those at the best moment of their lives to learn about personal finances. We are proud to collaborate with MIDE on this project, which turns concepts into lived experiences using senses and mind.”
Silvia Singer, General Director of MIDE, explained the integral perspective of this new proposal in an exclusive interview with El Economista: “In this new room, we are discussing all aspects of personal finances, not just retirement savings.”
