A natural fit - Merging Business Acumen with Academic Excellence


By ManojRanaweera - Posted on 15 October 2008

Both Angel and I have undertaken many years of consultancy projects in our life time. In Angel's case on policy studies and action-oriented research in the UK, Europe and Latin America; and in my case, infrastructure projects in the UK and the Middle East. Latter years, I have been concentrating on finance automation; knowledge leveraging; social networks; high-tech startup ecosystem development; etc.

We recently came together to bid for undertaking a strategic benchmarking review of venture capital, for which we pulled key resources across the world. Slowly, it dawned on us the strategic importance of what we achieved, pulling specialists from complementary networks. My address book along now exceeds 5000 people and have further access to vast talent pool across the globe due to academic networks and business social networks such as LinkedIn and edocr.

Foresight North combines excellence from academia, business and public sector in addition to our own, working on projects that ca have an impact on our local, regional and national economies.

Join us in our journey to make a difference today.
