Volker Hirsch

I translate the latest technological trends so that people can understand them. I look at the future because we all have to: this is where we are going to live and we should inform ourselves well ahead of time. A strong focus is on data & artificial intelligence and how this will impact the various facets of our lives. I have delivered keynotes that focus on education, HR (and the development of work forces), IoT and industry, infrastructure, cyber security and more. I am a leading speaker on education technology (stemming from my involvement as a father, technologist, school governor and Venture Partner in Europe's #1 EdTech accelerator, Emerge Education). As an investor and entrepreneur, I am frequently speaking about leadership, technology investment and growth strategies for the future. Finally, due to my career in the game industry, I often speak about the behavioural psychological effects of "gamification" and how they can help shape decision-making and learning.
