BEYOND THE ORDINARY
As an international experienced keynote speaker Frank inspires not by powerpoint slides, stock images and bullet points, but by simply inviting the audience to follow his narrative.
He shares his holistic view on tech trends in the light of the accelerating transformation of society and economy.
Since he speaks freely without a fixed script, his speeches are open for interaction with the audience.
keynote speaker about artificial intelligence
there is art in artificial intelligence
The ability of both modern business and scientific research to deal with the impact of artificial intelligence to our society is at least quite limited.
Their focus on technical feasibility as well as economic profitability and academic reputation stands in their way.
After a short introduction to the routes and current state of AI this talk will outline four different scenarios for the encounter of the human ancestor with its synthetic descendant.
keynote speaker about future of work
the future is ours, robots take over- this is new work
On the one hand, robots will take over much of the work we are doing today. On the other hand, the arising start-up culture defines what might be our jobs of the future.
It is our societies responsibility to deal with the social aftermath of revolutions triggered by new technologies to prepare future generations to find or create useful and fulfilling jobs.
keynote speaker about fashion, music and co.
code and couture –
the future of fashion
To think about fashion as software and a collection of data obviously doesn’t fit with the creative work of fashion designers. However, the ability to access and copy data combined with the access to modern production methods will
substitute couture for code.
The time of mass production might be over. Not a bad choice facing today’s negative impact of the fashion industry to the labor market and our environment.
Meanwhile fashion extends its functionality to health and fitness as well as to communication and security features.

TESTIMONIALS | WHAT OTHERS SAY
Critical thinking is Frank’s passion. His strength is to create realizable projects from it.
Together we have introduced new perspectives in teaching and research where there used to be sleeping museums.
Prof. Dr. Gerd Folkers, ETH Zürich
Frank is a keynote speaker far beyond general thinking and always good for new, fresh impulses.
Dedicated, with depth and the ambition to question things that we usually take for granted. And yes, always a fashionable experience too.
Reinhard Plückthun, Navigationlab
Frank speaks because he cares about the future of our world. His stages are wherever people seriously and critically ask themselves questions about the future of society, technology and nature.
An optimistic spirit, whose curiosity can inspire and activate the audience.
Fritz Strempel, Architekt, Künstler, Unternehmer
Frank speaks his mind. And the curious listener quickly realizes that his thoughts have an enormous intellectual background. Brilliantly, he uses this, not as a delimitation, but as an invitation to his audience to engage with the really relevant issues of our time. His impulses as keynote speaker are a pleasing powerpoint-free inspiration on a very high level”.
Ingo Stoll, Audiograf
Frank is quick to understand and efficient in achieving the objectives. Same is with his talks. Fast, dynamic but comprehensible.
