To keep abreast of key trends and developments, we are connected to a network of connectors in several key regions of the world. They keep us informed about special events and initiatives. They are also our regular contacts to get in touch with new organizations, for example to organize inspiration trips. Each region has its own characteristics where certain Futurise® themes manifest themselves strongly.
Every month the Global Connectors meet online to share the latest local and regional trends and developments. What new cool store, special community or remarkable other hot spot have they discovered in their city? What stood out in the news? How does the zeitgeist relate to it? And what inspiration do they draw from it?
The Global Connectors Network – along with its scientific base – is an important foundation of our trend model and functions as a dipstick into society, so to speak. It allows us to closely monitor the zeitgeist and see how different regions and cultures are responding to the changing mindset.
We process all that collected content into Stories and share them here on the website. Registered users thus have access to a huge library of Futurise® stories, news items, interviews and reports around specific themes and sectors from key regions around the world.
Search the entire collection or make selections based on more than 30 different filters. Scroll through stories from specific sectors and industries such as Health & Wellbeing, Food & Drink, Mobility and Transport and Retail. Or delve into specific topics such as Next gen, Smart Cities or Entrepreneurship.
Please note that access to the library is restricted to registered users. Please contact us for more info and possibilities.
