A global trend community for a better business world

tw:in, TrendWatching's extended content team, is a community of 900+ trend-driven professionals and enthusiasts across 90+ countries who aim to build a better business world through sharing meaningful, purpose-driven trends and innovations. Both on a global level, but especially from their own local perspective.

How we work

Hosted in Slack, tw:in is a platform where our community members (affectionately called “spotters”) share innovative products, services, experiences, campaigns, business models, and publications. Especially local innovations, the ones that are hard to spot unless you know where to look, are of big value to tw:in and its community.

As it's a collaborative intelligence hub, spotters have access to what others are sharing, as well as to TrendWatching’s content team - which uses some of the contributions in its trend research process.

 

Besides having access to findings from around the globe, spotters have the opportunity to enroll in collaborative initiatives alongside TrendWatching’s analysts, attend virtual and IRL meet-ups, and be part of a community that wants to uplift and share knowledge.

Spotters range from eager business school students and senior agency directors to ambitious insight managers and CEOs, across many industries.
