What is futurehain?
The name "hain" (German for grove) represents a space for exploration and discovery. Based in Berlin’s Friedrichshain, a district defined by its history of transformation, we embody the same unwavering spirit.
We are dedicated to expanding the relevance of research in innovative and impactful ways. We collaborate with pioneers and catalysts of change to leverage scientific breakthroughs and emerging technologies for an open, peaceful and sustainable world to live in.

Frequently asked questions
-
Researchers and research organisations choose us when they face critical capacity or know-how gaps that require external support. We bring the international perspective and science-specific knowledge that generalist consultancies lack. We help in the design, development and implementation of strategies, projects and communication faster than in-house teams bound by hierarchy and bureaucracy.
-
We are most effective during phases of high uncertainty: the launch of a new initiative, a change in leadership, a fundamental organisational reform, a complex campaign with many variables.
-
futurehain unites science strategy, science management and science communication under one roof. This enables deep insights into how science is structured and how it works, which is critical for high-stakes projects. This sets us aside from traditional communication agencies who only help selling the results, but not actually building them.
