On August 29, 2019, Futures Space presented a unique event on the topic of Futures of Food. In the betahaus Neukölln we took the participants on an exploration of the manifold futures and the scenarios how and what we will eat in the future. In innovative talks and workshops we dealt with nutrition systems; we discussed about food security, production, gastronomy and innovations and what this means for our health and well-being.
With changing environmental conditions, such as extreme weather conditions, scarcity of resources and population growth, the question arises where we will source our food in the future? Are we jumping from global to local? What are the alternatives to animal products? What role does technology play in food innovation? The focus on health & wellness and superfoods is changing our eating habits. What does personalized nutrition actually mean?
These questions and topics were the focus of the evening. We also looked at changes in human behaviour and consumption habits, as well as how companies and individuals deal with food waste. Another „Night of the Futures“ on a megatrend that will have a lasting impact on our lives.

What will education look like at the universities of the future? Which factors will shape the subjects of study and which technological and social trends will determine the world of tomorrow? At the International Scientific Conference “Bioeconomy and Rural Development” in Jelgava, Latvia on 9 May 2019 I took the participants on a journey into the future.
As an innovation profiler and future strategist, I gave visitors to the conference insights into augmented reality, virtual reality and the seven rules of the future that will enable them to shape the future of their universities.

Have you ever seen a new product, a new app or a new company and thought: „This was my idea a few years ago“? If so, it means you didn’t have a process to move that idea from concept to creation. The startup weekend is your chance to learn how to turn your idea into reality within a few days!
From 03 May to 05 May 2019 I will be available to the participants as a coach and help them to advance the ideas developed during the weekend.

The year 2030. What will our world look like? Has our life been fully digitalized by then, or have we, perhaps even intentionally, retained a touch of analogy? If you look at current technological developments, in less than 10 years we’ll quickly see ourselves in the sci-fi worlds we know from movies or books.
But how does the future look in our day-to-day work? How can we manage these disruptive projects and what skills does a project manager need in 2030?
My interview with the Project Management Institute Denmark gives an insight into the challenges and opportunities of Project Management 2030. At their conference „Passion of the Profession“ in Copenhagen I will speak about the disruption of project management.
