OUR INTERNAL DRIVE
As the world faces unprecedented challenges, solving them requires distinctive competencies. World Economic Forum recently pointed out diverse mindsets, the ability to adapt to constantly changing environments and critical thinking as future skills. Our interdisciplinary team has those competencies deeply rooted in our working culture. This is what you get when working with Next Agents.
We are thought leaders in our fields with more than 40 years of combined experience. We have partnered up to help organisations rethink their value and shift the traditional ways of conducting business. An integrated approach to design, business, and innovation makes us stand out and be valuable partners to our clients.
We deliver value relevant to humans and the planet today and tomorrow. We focus on developing beyond-growth capabilities, such as sustainability and innovation assessments, future-proofing maps, and a priority canvas. We aim to empower the internal team in your company.
We are filling the gap between BUSINESS and DESIGN – translating and exchanging best practices across disciplines. While doing it, we always consider existing connections and ecosystems. Our superpower is collaboration and building partnerships.
Our founding partners are affiliated with world-renown schools and universities. Our market experience comes from Germany, Portugal, Poland and Sweden. Next Agents was founded in 2019, and has its head office in Stockholm (Sweden), chapters in Portugal and Poland, and representatives and partners around Europe.
We are members of the ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 279 for the development of the ISO 56000 for Innovation Management. We are the affiliate of the Nordics for Rapid Learning Cycles (RLC). We are members of Cradlenet and Nordic Circular Hotspot. We joined the Swedish Climate Startup Map. We partner with Curlabs – a business consulting and services on innovation.
