I’m over 15 years futures-studies researcher, trend expert and at the Zukunftsinstitut / Future-Institute in Berlin the director of science/research on the international level. Starting as 'little' trendscout & tech(nology)scout about 1984 (Orwells year) I was going one step after the other to get a futurist and to build up 'my' Future-Institute, first in Berlin, then New York, Tokyo and today in Shanghai.
