Strategic Foresight Marketplace for Europe

Connect with verified
foresight professionals

Made in Futures is the matchmaking platform that connects organisations and public bodies with vetted strategic foresight practitioners. Quality-assured. Anti-future-washing guaranteed.

The problem

European organisations lack access to strategic foresight. The tools that saved Shell during the 1973 oil crisis remain out of reach for most companies and public bodies working on high-impact challenges.

71%

of European organisations have no
medium or long-term planning

50%

of organisations lack even a
basic strategic plan

How it works

1. Verified Professionals

Foresight practitioners register with verified association memberships. Every supplier is vetted before they can apply.

2. Structured Matching

Organisations post projects with clear briefs and budgets. Suppliers compete with pitches. You choose the best fit.

3. Quality Assured

Every completed project is evaluated with our anti-future-washing methodology checklist. Scores are tracked platform-wide.

Where we fit

Freelancer platforms offer matchmaking but no foresight expertise. Consultancies offer expertise but no marketplace. Made in Futures combines both.

Freelancer Platforms

Generic matchmaking. No domain expertise. No quality assurance for foresight work.

Made in Futures

Specialised matchmaking + methodology verification + anti-future-washing quality assurance.

Foresight Consultancies

Deep expertise, but closed teams. No marketplace. High cost barrier for smaller organisations.

Built for the futures industry

Methodology Matching

Anti-Future-Washing
