E SOURCE is a worldwide operating, USA based market research company and one of the few institutes specialised on the energy industry. This know-how makes E SOURCE the predestined partner for trend:research for North and South America. A competent concentration of data (e.g. up-to-date exchange rates and prices), analysis and archives in addition to studies and projects was established due to E SOURCE's change of shareholders first to Financial Times Energy and then to platts/McGrawHill. Comprehensive, long-lasting project experience, a large customer base that is enabled by so-called "memberships" to use many further services (e.g. conferences, teleconferences, short research, direct contact to authors) next to studies on a yearly basis and large events (members forum for 15 years) are the strengths of E SOURCE. After E SOURCE put the focus of market expansion in Europe on the establishment of partnerships, trend:research was chosen as the partner for the German and central-European market. Reasons for this decision were parallel goals, similar methodology and branch focus in addition to a long-lasting personal acquaintance and conjoint projects.

As a consultancy network that shaped and advanced the realisation of systemic entrepreneurship in Germany during the last years, Königswieser & Network is the trend:research partner for sectors that play a basic, if not decisive role in liberalising markets: corporate culture and management of change. Common projects include for example:

Long-lasting business relationships next to a biennial schooling of a trend:research member to a systemic consultant lead to the possibility of drafting projects and finding and realising solutions on a short-term basis, avoiding long periods of vocational adjustment and orientation.

The scope of research of Trend Research Hamburg ranges from advertising concepts, material and success to product and media research to market, customer group and corporate identity research.
