FIBRES introduces the first-ever, AI-generated trend data sets for futures intelligence. The AI data sets consist of hundreds of pre-written trends and pre-compiled trend radars. They are designed to offer an easy way for companies to start foresight activities. The foresight startup also wants to replace non-value-adding work by human trend analysts.

We are partnering with DTIM,  a yearly gathering for the innovation-minded in Germany. The event is jam-packed with keynotes and networking, this year with a foresight focus.

Despite the global pandemic, 2020 marked a year of growth for FIBRES Online. Existing customers in Australia, Europe, and North America found our foresight software even more valuable in turbulent times. Concurrently, new customers discovered FIBRES for their internal foresight work.

I would expect every startup entrepreneur recognizes there are many moments related to starting up and growing your business. And that then there are some defining moments.

This years event was our first visit ever to Innovation Roundtable Summit at Copenhagen. I have to say that I have never been in as a well-organized event that also had not one, not two but at least 10 amazing speakers! Usually, event speeches are a bit the same and heard before and not that inspirational. But the three days (6.-8.11.2018) at Innovation Roundtable was full of inspiration, amazing speakers and a lot of new information at least for me!

Yes, FIBRES (Necorpoint Ltd) is part of The Plug and Play Berlin (Batch 0) acceleration program. The program is a platform aiming to create face-to-face interaction between corporations and startups, and to build engaging relationships with long-lasting effects. Current corporate participants include ALBA and TUI Group, among others. Plug and Play Berlin are looking to start hosting new batches twice a year.

Three years ago our team made a strategic decision that changed our course from consulting business to a software business. We wanted to provide a solution that helps organizations get really connected to changes around them and plan their actions accordingly.

This press release was published on June 15, 2017, and is partly outdated. Today, we focus on building the best tool for foresight and futures intelligence, and are no longer as strongly geared towards strategy execution. However, the partnership between FIBRES and TRENDONE is as strong as ever. You can find up-to-date information about getting TRENDONE data for FIBRES on this page.

I promised I’ll share my experiences on how it feels like to be part of an international startup accelerator program, and to be on our journey towards ‘hybrid foresight’ and ‘smart strategies’. Call it “Confessions of a CEO’.

Well, what's next? Always the million dollar question, especially now as artificial intelligence (AI) is in the midst of the tech hype. Since our own FIBRES' development will entwine with AI, it's due time to take a look into some of the concepts and terminology. I'll try and outline at least how we approach these from our business point of view.
