Even as a technology-loving boy in the 1960s, he was interested in the secrets of the future. After a career as a journalist and publicist, he became the most influential trend and futurologist in the German-speaking world. He published 20 books, some of which became bestsellers. He founded Germany's most important futurist think tank, the Zukunftsinstitut, with headquarters in Frankfurt and Vienna.
He stands for a futurology that doesn't chase after every fear or technology hype, but incorporates the shift in consciousness. "The future emerges when we look at the world from the perspective of tomorrow - and our minds sense the connections between the present and the future!"
A passionate European, he commutes between London, Frankfurt and Vienna, where he has lived in the "Future Evolution House" with his family since 2010.
