Mission Statement

FreshExperts's mission is to make expertise of academics accessible to decision makers in business, nonprofit and government organizations.

Globalization and technological progress are making the world a more complicated place. To make sense of this complexity, decision makers need expert advice. But fewer and fewer organizations have the resources to employ full-time experts in an ever-growing number of fields. The current economic downturn has only made this situation worse by forcing organizations to slash their research budgets. Today, they must outsource their need for specialist expertise.

So where do organizations turn to get independent perspectives, authoritative insight or innovative solutions? To where can they outsource their need for specialist expertise? Their options are limited. Management consultants offer high-level strategic advice at a high cost, boutique consultancies are time-consuming to find and hard to accredit, and primary research expert networks are focused on Wall Street clients.

In the end, most decision makers pick up the phone and call a friend. But in doing so they are missing an opportunity.

FreshExperts gives decision makers access to the world’s real experts: academics. They have the specialist expertise that organizations need to make informed decisions. In many cases, only they can provide the depth of knowledge – be it a unique insight into a regional context, technical due diligence or the solution to a technical problem – that organizations need to drill down into complex issues.

Our proprietary search technology allows us to identify with unrivalled precision the academic that will meet your organization’s needs. We also have access to a unique network of academics at the best schools in the US and Europe to ensure that only the most suitable candidates are put forward for your consideration.

When decision makers need advice they can now pick up the phone and, instead of calling a friend, call FreshExperts and speak to the world expert.
