Our Services
Trend Foresight
We forecast, roadmap and scenario plan future technologies from 2 to 20 years so your organisation gains insider advantage by seeing what’s around the corner
For Tech Strategy, R&D and
Concept Development teams
The Problem
Spotting the next breakthrough technology trend is fraught with uncertainty. Some technologies are too early. Investing late can be too costly.
“We want to gain the competitive edge by spotting trends early, then move in advance of those inflection points occurring.”
The Solution
Gain sight of next-gen technology trends before they take off
We chart tomorrow's critical trends and future technology use-cases with trend research, quantitative forecasting and systematic monitoring of trigger-points.
Case Study
Forecasting the 20-year future of Unmanned Ground Systems
Robotics R&D programmes are ambitious and treading new ground. UK defence needed to foresee how trends and drivers underpinned by advances in science and technology could shape the next 5 to 20 years of UGS. Our Trend Foresight team mapped state-of-the-art performance today and the engineering bottlenecks that must be overcome to unlock future capability.
“Our R&D teams are so concentrated on one priority route, they don’t see how fast another option is growing and how it could disrupt them”
