Helping you turn science fiction into reality.

Future Tech Partners is not your typical consultancy. We're scientists and technologists turned entrepreneurs — with the scars and wins to prove it. Our team has built multi-billion-dollar companies, developed first-of-a-kind technologies, and advised investors, government, and industry.

We help:

• scientists move their technology out of the lab;
• investors assess and de-risk breakthrough tech;
• companies prepare for disruption and seize new opportunities;
• technologists and policy makers collaborate effectively; and
• individuals plan their careers in early stage technologies.
