About

Biography

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.
