Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already an important part of everyday life for many people – often without realizing it. Some already have an inkling of the immense transformational energy of AI technologies; this keynote covers the most important areas that will become more relevant in the next 20 years.

On the one hand, since the Facebook Group changed its name to Meta, no innovative company has been able to avoid VR, AR or XR (virtual, augmented or mixed reality). Alongside entertainment and training, the industrial metaverse is an important part of Industry 5.0.

Do you know the original definition of Industry 5.0? No, not the one from the EU Commission, but the one that sounds less like an uncreative update of Industry 4.0 with a pinch of AI and instead focuses on the core idea of the circular economy?

Will your job survive this decade? In other words, which parts of it will become more important and which will lose importance? In this impulse, I will convey the most important framework conditions for a successful HR strategy based on international studies and my own publications.

Was your company or authority caught off guard by the coronavirus pandemic or the war in Ukraine? Then your organization was literally not resilient. Let’s change that!

When will air cabs finally arrive? The mobility transformation is coming… but when exactly? Hardly any other industry is affected by so many external stressors at the same time as mobility. Energy transition on the one hand – will we only be driving electrically in the future or will we be using hydrogen?

Municipalities are under pressure from all megatrends. How do we ensure the comfortable survival of our citizens, make administrative processes more efficient and what opportunities can we use to promote climate protection?

What characterizes the post-fossil economy – and what does the path to it look like? We all know that sooner rather than later fossil fuels will no longer be profitably extracted, traded or converted into electricity or heat. But what will happen then?
