About us

We wanted to build the foresight tool that would support teams of strategists, innovators, and changemakers in their own foresight work.

Our story

Today, change is exponential. The market changes rapidly, and new competition emerges across industry boundaries. Traditional market research fails to give reliable results.

Foresight methodologies – collecting weak signals, identifying future trends, and building alternative scenarios – have proven useful to stay relevant in this fast-changing environment.

Buying trend reports, summaries, or generic trend radars is one way to navigate change. The problem, however, is that general foresight can't give answers in your context.

Often, the most impactful work is done in-house, with your own people.

That's why we're building a tool for building your own futures intelligence. We want to support you in the in-house foresight work you are already doing, or wish the get started.

FIBRES makes it easy for teams to collect signals, make sense of future topics, and share those insights with the rest of the company – in short, to build your own foresight.

At the beginning of our journey, we helped companies do what they now can achieve with FIBRES: scout for new opportunities, recognize new trends, and future proof their business.

2016: First version of FIBRES tool is born to support consultancy work

Noticing that few tools existed to support foresight work, we started to build one of our own. Saving signals in one place, a core feature of FIBRES today, is born.
