In recent decades, technological advancements have presented both opportunities and challenges for the banking sector. Among these, forecasting emerging technologies has become a strategic capability for guiding technology-related decision-making. However, many Iranian banks lack structured systems for monitoring and analyzing future technological developments. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for forecasting emerging technologies in Iran’s banking industry using a mixed-methods approach. In the qualitative phase, thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 10 banking experts led to the identification of four main categories of influencing factors: organizational, technological, environmental, and cultural. In the quantitative phase, the Fuzzy Delphi Technique and the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) were employed to determine the relative weight of each factor and its sub-indicators. The results indicate that organizational and technological factors are the most critical for successful technology forecasting. The final outcome is a four-layered model that can be used to design a structured forecasting system within Iranian banks. This model serves as a practical tool for banking managers and policymakers to prioritize digital transformation initiatives, develop technology roadmaps, and enhance foresight capabilities. Additionally, by integrating thematic analysis and FAHP, this research contributes to the theoretical development of localized foresight models in the financial services industry, offering a robust framework for strategic planning in technology-driven environments.
