Let's talk

Rail and mobility are not short of innovation. They are short of pathways to adoption.

Future Travel Studio was built to close that gap. We work with industry partners to identify high-value problems, translate them into clear venture opportunities, and match those opportunities with exceptional founders capable of building real companies.
We use our expertise across the mobility landscape to help ventures navigate the technical, regulatory and commercial complexity that so often prevents good ideas from reaching the market.
Our mission is to create a repeatable pathway from industry need to investable, scalable ventures - building the companies rail and mobility need next.
FTS takes a problem-led, cross-disciplinary approach to innovation. We bring together strategy, design, engineering, commercial thinking and industry insight to find the right solution - because what matters is identifying the approach most likely to create a credible, adoptable outcome.

Richard Fisher

Founder and Director of Future Travel Studio

We don't have an innovation problem in rail - we have a commercialisation problem. The sector is pretty good at funding prototypes but it's much less good at helping founders turn those prototypes into scalable businesses. That’s what FTS is all about - democratising who can solve rail’s problems

Nik Lusardi

Founder and Director of Future Travel Studio

Design and innovation often arise from the most unexpected situations. For us, it starts with leaning into the problem with the right attitude - being curious enough to challenge and courageous enough to explore the unexpected. Turning problems into opportunities is what we enjoy, and what we do best.
