About Us

Education & Research

Education & Research are close to our hearts. During the last decade we’ve visited over 50 universities and hotel schools to give Cool hunting classes in Future Forecasting and Innovation. Our founder Carl Rohde has served during this decade as professor/lector both in Shanghai, in Barcelona and in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague, Tilburg, Maastricht). There he was co-founder of what is now the biggest national education institute for future forecasting and innovation: ‘Trends, Concepting and Lifestyle’ at Fontys Universities.

Our Education & Research methodologies, Cool hunting in the first place, have been tried and tested amongst about ten thousand students on four continents. Next to the companies we have served and are serving. We are over 25 years in business, education and research. It makes us humble and proud. We do something good with our boutique approach.
