• Future factors: How powerful trends and technologies change our lives 
• 2020: What will change, what will stay the same?

This speech gives an open minded, mixed audience a wide visionary view on the most important developments concerning humanity in the coming years and then turns their attention back to the necessary action in the present.

There are a huge number of forecasts and scenarios. The problem is not that we know too little about the future. The challenge is learning how to make this inflationary amount of available knowledge of use in practice. This includes deciding what is important and what is probable and what is not and, above all, which concrete threats and opportunities will arise from the trends and technologies.
