Futurist / Think Tank

Futurologists deal with a range of exciting questions and issues. Their specialist area revolves around innovation management, future trends and future visions. It is often the case that futurologists are aware of trends whose swift implementation can already create immense added value today. We only need to think about topics such as digitisation, collaboration and connectivity. Already today, organisations and whole markets are therefore getting themselves aligned with these future trends. This is why good market research also plays a decisive role for many businesses, as does strong innovation management. The futurologists listed in this section have amassed a huge wealth of experience on this topic and others besides, and they would be very happy to share this with you.
