Predicting the future may be impossible, but there are techniques to forecast how our world, its markets, and technologies might evolve. For years, I've been at the forefront of future studies and innovation management, blending rigorous research with practical insights.

My commitment? Grounding every publication, presentation, and project in rock-solid scientific principles. As Professor of Digital Sciences, Automation, and Leadership at the University of Applied Sciences for the Bavarian Economy (HDBW), I strive to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge research with transformative teaching.

What truly ignites my passion? Seeing my work cited as the foundation for corporate strategies, government policies, and groundbreaking initiatives worldwide. It's humbling to know that my research has informed decision-making at the highest levels—from the United Nations and European Parliament to the White House itself.

This isn't just academic pursuit—it's about architecting tomorrow's realities today. By decoding emerging trends and technological shifts, we empower leaders to navigate uncertainty with confidence. Whether you're steering a Fortune 500 company or shaping national policy, my insights offer a compass for the uncharted territories ahead.

My fascination with technology sparked early. At 12, I unwrapped my first computer—a gift that ignited a lifelong passion and set me irrevocably on the path to becoming a computer scientist.

Decades later, that childhood wonder still fuels me. But more than just nurturing my own curiosity, I’ve made it my mission to demystify technological progress for others—to replace apprehension with inspiration, and skepticism with collaborative vision.

In every presentation, I adapt rigorously to my audience. Why? Because transformative dialogue happens eye to eye, not from a pedestal. If innovation is to serve humanity, we must discuss it in language that invites everyone to the table—CEOs and students, policymakers and grandparents alike.

EVANGELIST BY CALLING 
"Digital Evangelist" isn’t a job title—it’s a lifestyle. True evangelists don’t just explain technologies; they love them. Credentials matter, but passion is non-negotiable. You can’t evangelize what you don’t adore.
This philosophy shapes my work: Whether discussing AI ethics or robotic governance, I champion ideas that earn my belief first. Because authenticity moves mountains where expertise alone stalls.

TECHNOLOGY’S PROMISE 
When wielded wisely, robotics, AI, and automation could unlock 30% of humanity’s productive hours—a staggering opportunity. But with great potential comes greater responsibility: Will we invest this windfall in cultural advancement and societal progress? Or squander it on digital distractions?
The answer starts with democratizing innovation. My keynotes don’t just inform—they equip leaders to shape technology’s trajectory with wisdom, foresight, and an unwavering moral compass.

The archetype of the tech evangelist – passionately championing ideas to ignite collective enthusiasm – has always resonated deeply with me. For years, I embodied this role: explaining innovations, decoding trends, and sparking excitement for emerging technologies. But true innovation demands more than advocacy. It requires conjuring transformative ideas into existence through rigorous research, bold hypotheses, and collaborative alchemy.

Call me a geek? A nerd? Perhaps.
I prefer Innomancer – literally translating to "innovation summoner." It’s also the name of my think tank and collaborative platform where fellow future-shapers prototype tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Here, we don’t just discuss ideas – we ritualize them into reality.
