We're no traditional trend firm

We're grounded in purpose and it's our mission to inspire you to take action on the endless amounts of meaningful business opportunities we scan the world for every day — through our Trend Intelligence Platform (powered by AI and humans), our Keynotes and workshops, our Trend Events or our free Trend Publication.

Our mission

As one of the world’s leading consumer trend firms since 2002, TrendWatching is purpose-built to guide, inspire and empower business professionals — whether they're marketers, creatives, strategists, entrepreneurs or innovators — to bring to market more sustainable and impactful innovations that benefit all, not the few. 

To achieve this, we run Daily, our free trend feed, that goes out to 100,000+ trend-driven professionals worldwide, as well as a number of dedicated paid trend services. Powered by AI and humans.

Our teams in Amsterdam, Singapore, London, Barcelona and New York relentlessly scan the globe to spotlight countless meaningful trends and innovations — supported by numerous AI-tools and a network of 100+ dedicated spotters from across the globe.

Our methodology

Guiding our work is our proprietary Purpose-Driven Innovation (PDI) methodology: a core analytical framework that turns trends into meaningful business opportunities. It's designed to guide professionals and the wider world in identifying trends and acting on them.

2030: AI and purpose

Finding ourselves in one of the most transformational and crucial decades ever, we are determined to partner with future-obsessed professionals to make a meaningful difference in the remaining six years — including being at the forefront of AI × consumer expectations and AI × trend-driven innovation. Hey, whatever gets us communally to more sustainable and inclusive innovation!
