Keynote: From Coal to AI. From AI to Coal.

How the Future Shapes Our Lives – and How We Shape the Future. The Great Transformation: From Industrialization to Digitality. From AI to Living Intelligence. 🔥 Coal – the fuel of industrialization.🧠 AI – the driving force of digitality.💶 Coal – as a synonym for money. These three terms stand at the heart of our economic and societal evolution. They illustrate how technology shaped our lives during industrialization, how we adapted – and in many cases invented – entire social structures around it, and how we can now use new technologies to build a better future in the digital era. 🌍 But we are at the dawn of a new era – transitioning from industrialization to digitality.This is a radical shift that we often underestimate because we remain attached to old structures. But the potential is enormous – if we realize that we no longer need to think in global-industrial frameworks, but rather in local, networked opportunities. Too often, we make the mistake of equating technology with innovation. But innovation also exists in society, structures, processes, and in our daily lives. To better understand the different opportunities for shaping the future, we have divided …

Keynote: The future lives differently!

Do you still live in the present or already in the future? How will we live in the future, how are we mobile, how will urban and rural structures develop, whole regions and the habits of the people living there? Yes, how will we live? How will our life, our education and our everyday life be structured? Co-Working has become a kind of fashion. One imagines rooms that one rents temporarily. And of course there’s a table football and good coffee. But it’s actually much more than that. There is a deeply developed structure behind good co-working. And not only with a wide range of office services. There are co-working spaces for specific industries. For example, food start-ups settle in a space … right through to legal advice and the mediation of investors, and in the meantime support in company building has also become part of this. In this way, completely new constructs are created, which in their entirety are suddenly larger than existing market sizes. And we are not only talking about the so-called …

Keynote: The 17 areas of life in our future – and how they will change our lives.

When we talk about the future, we often talk about how everyday life will change. That means: on the one hand, we “only” have the new technology, but it will be used in all areas of our lives. So not only in our everyday life, in our profession or in individual areas, but in all 17 areas of life at the same time. This seems frightening to many people, because if something changes everywhere …. But the opposite is the case, because there are many possibilities. This list should help to divide life into smaller units and to take a closer look at what new opportunities are opening up there and how these can be newly networked in the sense of a greater quality of life and economy for as many people as possible. But let’s just think about industrialisation. In order for it to take hold, we didn’t just need the steam engine (aka the internet today). We also needed trade unions that fought for social laws, for health insurance, sick pay … otherwise …

I want to give the future as big a stage as possible.

// Future unplugged – our possibilities for tomorrow! We all realize that the world is changing. But how exactly? How will we experience our everyday life in the future? With the beginning of industrialization, we have invented a new form of work, social laws, insurance, supermarkets, banks and bank money, concepts such as leisure and vacation have entered our everyday lives. Many people do not have the opportunity to deal sufficiently with the future and its possibilities. Our understanding of how we can shape the future is on the same level as the topic of health was in the 1960s. There are many misunderstandings, false statements and far too many negative things to report. Together with Bochum Veranstaltungen and the Bochum Jahrhunderthalle, I have conceived a show in which I would like to show the possibilities of the future: for our society, for companies, but above all for each individual person. And with this format I would like to contribute to the fact that in the future more people participate in the new possibilities and …

Futurology creates added value for life!

Together with the Schufa magazine “Wegbereiter” we thought about how we could make the possibilities of digitalization visible and thus create added value in life through futurology – and wrote an article about it: “The future is not coming. We are shaping it!” Here are a few basic thoughts about our future. The link to the online version of the magazine can be found below. We encounter a lot of new things. This is fascinating on the one hand, but on the other hand it arouses fears. Especially since we rarely look at the holistic picture. We look at a detail. A part of everyday life or economy that concerns us. That is per thousand compared to what is changing. Futurology makes the future visible! Futurologists show the whole picture. And they show how the individual company, the region, the city or person is networked within it. All of a sudden, connections become clear and fears of the future are transformed into future opportunities. Because yes, over 80% of our everyday life will change. However, …

WUNDERKAMMER DER ZUKUNFT – Regions and their perspectives.

The WUNDERKAMMER DER ZUKUNFT is one of the most exciting development projects for FUTURE in GERMANY. Exciting, because it is here that the development of society, the environment, visions, everyday life and work worth living and working in the Lüdenscheid Museum are collected from the past to the future and made accessible to the public. What will the city of the future look like? How relevant will cities like Lüdenscheid be in the future (note: very!!!)? What will our everyday life look like then? How do we network with the rest of the world, Germany, Europe, Asia, Africa and America? How can new centres for innovation in business, society, culture and education be created in a city like Lüdenscheid? IMPORTANT DABEI: We can change our future! It doesn’t just happen. We have the freedom to shape it. If we are aware of the new opportunities offered by digitization, every region can create a new quality of life for itself, for the people who live there and who will certainly want to live there in the …

The future interviews differently

We are not making any progress in the digital future with our current industrial thinking. We have to rethink, initiate new educational ideas, change ourselves and thus the world. Then we can have a new prospective future. And we have to develop more humour for our world and our everyday life again. Interview with Nico Gutjahr on the Webtalkshow.

Future 4.0 – how future changes our everyday life!

Don’t be afraid of the future! Probably the most entertaining insight into the future, understandable for everyone. Max explains how the future actually works, why we sometimes panic (but don’t have to) and who actually shapes our future. He takes a trip into the world of intelligent refrigerators, new health care systems, smart technologies, self-driving cars in smart cities and wondrous developments promised for our smart everyday lives. He brings all this “smartness” together in an understandable way and shows us why the digital revolution will not overwhelm us in the end, but rather why it offers us all prospective opportunities.

E-Commerce will change it all

From the service society to the life society Trade has always been a major driver of people. Once upon a time, settlements at crossroads developed which became cities. Networking! Crossroads are everywhere today. So is networking. And trade. Even without cities. E-commerce is possible everywhere. And just as supermarkets have changed society, so will e-commerce. There are many prejudices – from the isolation of city centres to the couch potato. But are they true? Discover prospective opportunities and new business models, such as potential for the healthy development of civil society, businesses, cities and communities – even those that until recently you thought were outdated or without a chance. It’s a bit like when the steam engine was introduced. Everyone thought: that’s what’s going to put us out of work. The turnaround brought about by the engines led to more prosperity than ever.
