OPTIMAL HUMAN PERFORMANCE, DIGITAL HEALTH & BIOHACKING

Biohacking is the art and science of optimising performance, health and wellbeing with technological and biological tools. Wearables, genetic testing and biomarker analysis will provide the foundations for preventive healthcare to optimise the human biological operating system.

EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES & HUMANS AS THE NEXT PLATFORM

Synthetic biology and human augmentation will extend human capabilities. Various methods and tools based on scientific discoveries can speed up recovery, improve performance, regenerate tissues and slow down ageing. Biological and technological intelligences are coming together.

ALGORITHMIC SOCIETY, HUMAN AUGMENTATION & END OF WORK

Bots, robots and artificial intelligence will off-load human work. Processes are automated and augmented. Algorithms will become part of decision-making. Data is the oil of the 21st century.

PLATFORM ECONOMY, CLOUD SERVICES & NETWORK EFFECTS

Digital platforms will disrupt existing industries by leveraging new ways to get things done. Economies of abundance & network effects will dominate over linear economies of scarcity.

INTERACTION ECONOMY, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING & GROWTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Human work is interaction between interdependent people. More and more people will decide to work and learn in network & value based relationships rather than in centralised organisations.

DIGITAL DISRUPTION, NEW VALUE CREATION & BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION

Digitalisation is disrupting existing industries. Value creation will shift to a different part of the value chain. Businesses need to learn new digital skills and adapt to changing market conditions.
