W.I.R.E. puts its expertise as a think tank at the service of public and private organizations. Its consulting practice is based on the early strategic identification of new technologies, business models, and social developments, as well as the development of forward-looking positioning strategies. Building on this foundation, W.I.R.E. offers a wide range of solutions for holistic innovation development—from workshops to the development of cross-industry networks or the consideration of social requirements in the development of products and services. Based on interdisciplinary analysis of future framework conditions, critical examination of hype, and the ability to link content with form, the think tank publishes commissioned studies and books in collaboration with partner organizations, designs event and upskilling formats, and serves as a point of contact for new questions and ideas in dealing with the unknown future.

With its many years of experience and networking in science, business, politics, and leading international agencies, W.I.R.E. brings an independent outside perspective and is able to develop and implement challenging projects.
