The power of megatrends - strategies for the future
When a small idea becomes a megatrend. Germany’s most innovative futurologist Sven Gabor Janszky takes his audience along to the origins of innovation which will change our society and economy in the following years. In his fascinating lecture the Global Topspeaker explains, how fast megatrends develop and how companies identify megatrends precocious and how to use them for their competitive advantage.
From medicine to mobility, from sales to real estate – Megatrends have the potential to influence not only certain economic branches. With ongoing digitalisation and automation global change processes happen much faster than they used to and demand much more flexibility from companies to compete in the global competition. With his longstanding experience in futurology Sven Gabor Janszky observes how fast future trends evolve and how fast they disappear. Some megatrends get hyped through media but don’t affect the society at all like Google Glasses or Virtual Reality.
Which would have been a trend for 20 years in the past, has a much shorter lifetime in the future. This requires much more flexibility and agility from companies to compete on the market. How to be on trend and realign all time shows innovation expert Sven Gabor Janszky in his inspiring lecture. The Keynote Speaker also talks about how to identify the right megatrend being a traditional company, or a start-up and which megatrend could be easily ignored.
Global Topspeaker Sven Gabor Janszky travels to the most important innovation hotspots in the world, like Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv or Shenzhen in China. He definitely knows the hotbeds of megatrends and what is behind it. He enables his audience fascinating insights into pioneering technologies and enthuses for the power of megatrends.

My son, the cyborg - how technology makes humans more human
In this presentation, Sven Gabor Janszky - Germany’s most innovative futurologist - does away with one of the most widespread misunderstandings of our times: Supposedly, technology is cold and inhuman. And artificial intelligence will degrade humans to the second most intelligent species and therefore lead to the apocalypse. None of which is true, says Sven Gabor Janszky. With charm and lots of verve, the Chairman of the 2b AHEAD ThinkTank explains how today’s development is part of normal human evolution. Yes, computers will be more intelligent than humans. And yes, this will happen smack in the middle of our children’s lifetime, probably around 2050 – this is how the renowned expert on the future starts out on his journey through time and into the future.
2035: How much human tolerates the future?
Digitalisation and automation precede rapidly. Janszky shows a future in which we will live better, healthier and longer, despite those developments – but only if we start to engage. All great and huge promises will become true if we would finally accept that computers are much better in certain subjects than us humans, says Janszky. The general public must lose its fear of data protection to use the benefits of intelligent systems like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.

Disrupt! The spirit of silicon valley
There is one place in the world that by now determines our life and work like no other: The Silicon Valley.

The last stand of data protection
With the introduction of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), an international, legal framework is to be created. At the same time, the implementation of the new regulations causes many a company quite a headache. However, for Global Topspeaker and futurologist Sven Gabor Janszky, the current debate on data protection has long since become obsolete and is a relic from the past. In his fascinating presentation, he explains why we will want to share our personal data in the future.
