Biography

I am a passionate futurist. My mission is to help us better understand our future.

As President of Swissfuture (Swiss Association for Futures Studies), I am also committed to futures studies as a discipline.

My core message is: Keep your eye on the big picture! Five major transformations will shape our future in the long term:

• Artificial intelligence and quantum computing;
• climate change and the ecological transformation of consumption and the economy
• geopolitical shifts and upheavals;
• demographic change;
• the bio-transformation
  

Demographic change is still underestimated: a shrinking and ageing Europe faces a rapidly growing and young Africa.

Bio-transformation is “the next big thing” – just as the invention of the steam engine, electrification, petrochemistry or, most recently, digitalization once were.

Synthetic biology, CRISPR and microbiomics are driving a new era.
