Bridging the Gap Between Business and Regulators in Emerging Industries
Share
Emerging industries don’t move at the same pace as the systems meant to oversee them.
Businesses are driven by innovation, trying to build, launch, and scale.
Regulators are tasked with caution, building frameworks that keep people safe and markets stable.
Between those two realities sits a gap. In that space, projects stall, promising research gathers dust, and investors hesitate.
At FundResearch, we’ve chosen to make that gap our focus.
Why the Gap Matters
In sectors like plant medicine, AI, and extended reality, the disconnect between innovation and regulation doesn’t just slow progress—it risks derailing it. Without alignment:
Startups face uncertainty and wasted capital.
Regulators lack the trusted data they need to act.
Communities lose access to breakthroughs that could improve lives.
Closing that gap isn’t optional if these industries are going to thrive—it’s essential.
Our Role: Building Bridges
FundResearch exists to connect both sides of the conversation:
Translation: helping businesses express their goals and challenges in language regulators can work with.
Evidence: surfacing the research and data that regulators need to make confident decisions.
Amplification: using media to showcase the people and organisations already leading responsibly in these spaces.
We see ourselves as facilitators. Our job is to make sure good ideas aren’t lost in the space between ambition and oversight.
An Invitation
We believe the future is built on dialogue, not dead ends. If you are:
A business working at the frontier of an emerging industry,
A regulator looking for clarity and trustworthy insight, or
A researcher or partner shaping new models,
—we want to hear from you.
FundResearch is actively building bridges. Let’s talk, and let’s move these industries forward—together.
