The Forecasting Net is  a non-profit think tank for both professionals and simple enthusiasts interested

in forecasting and future thinking.

Its purpose is to help increase our visibility of the future by monitoring emerging trends and using scientific forecasting, always with an emphasis on simplicity. Every expression of forecasting, from simple trend following to sophisticated forecasting techniques and software apps, is presented in a straightforward way, in an effort to abridge a scientifically challenging field with down to earth ready to use tools.

As a first step,  towards  that goal, the  Forecasting Net  launched  the Forecasting Tool, a simple, general purpose forecasting application based on Excel, and also a Blog to post and comment on new trends, forecasting techniques, hints & tips, guides, and anything related to forecasting that is of value to a broader audience.
