ALEXANDER PINKER - INNOVATION-PROFILER & FUTURE STRATEGIST

"Innovations are characterized by an incredible novelty and complexity. It is what drives me to illustrate this complexity to companies and the general public, and to increase their awareness of the future".

DIGITISATION & TREND EXPERT ON THE SEARCH
FOR TRACES OF CHANGE

Looking into the future needs an observer with vision. I am an innovation profiler, future strategist and start-up expert. Born in 1989, I have been active in the innovation sector for years and as an international expert in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Latvia. My vision is to prepare companies for the world of tomorrow and to take their fear of the future from them.

During my studies I founded the "Medialist Innovation Group" in 2011, which today focuses on trend scouting and digital mindsetting.
Today, I am an expert in the field of future strategy and innovation management and help companies to sharpen their innovation profile, to facilitate cooperation with start-ups and competitors and to design internal spin-offs efficiently.

This is made possible by my many years of work at GMM AG, where I worked as a project manager for multimedia and new technologies, and my voluntary work as a board member of the Startup Network SUN e.V. In order to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship in Germany, I have been working for SUN since 2015 to support active and future founders, entrepreneurs in various phases of their company foundation. The association currently has around 1,000 members throughout Europe.

Since 2019, I have also been active as a Foresight expert at Futures Space and, together with other future experts from all over the world, have been shaping the future landscape. Since 2017, I have been a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt in "Innovation and Trend Management".
2018 my first book " Innovate Retail - Innovation Technologies and Digital Strategies for Retailers" was published by Disserta Verlag.
