Max Thinius is Europe’s leading futurologist.
“We can shape the future through technology – or to move the species further.”
We have endless opportunities to create a new quality of life and economy by focussing on possibilities, not probabilities – for people, organizations, and entire regions.
The future doesn’t just happen – we shape it.
The future doesn’t just happen – we shape it.
Love to shape the future!
The perfect future
Ever wondered why coffee might be more essential to creating the future than technology? Just proof it to yourself: have you ever had a really good artificial intelligence this morning? Now imagine your morning without coffee!
We’re so focused on tech innovation that we often miss what truly makes a future worth living.
We ask technology what it wants from us.
Which prompts give us the best results?How will technology around us will evolve? What do we need to prepare for?
But rarely do we begin with a simple, playful question:
What do I actually want to create in this world?
So let’s flip the script! Let’s talk to people! Let’s explore how we can enrich their quality of life. Let’s bring in new technologies – but change the industrial structures and storytelling. Let’s design new positive ideas, new products, new narratives – to serve the species.
And let’s do it with love*!
*Love means: a good coffee, a good conversation and bold ideas that redesign the way we live and work, having an eye on all our possibilities to shape the future – and this is far more than just technology.
Coffee is on us!
Love what’s next.
We often talk about the future in terms of probabilities: What’s likely? What’s coming? What should we prepare for?
But real futures aren’t built on probabilities – they’re built on possibilities. And possibilities don’t come from technology alone. They emerge in the way we live, the way we organize, the way we connect with others.They live in regions, in relationships, in ideas.
And they show up when we stop managing what is – and start imagining what we really love to create.
The perfect keynote
Open minds. Spark change. Love what’s next.
Whether on a big stage or in a more intimate setting – Max brings the future to life in ways that are clear, human, and refreshingly different. No buzzwords. Just real insights and the feeling that there’s more possible than we often think.
Love, in this context, is more than emotion.
It’s a mindset.
It means meeting people with curiosity and care.
It means seeing regions not as systems, but as living environments full of potential.
It means creating futures not for people, but with them.
Because only those who truly understand this shift – from reacting to shaping, from trends to meaning – will actually be able to design a future worth living – and oh yes, this includes relevant business-models and catching agendas.
Sparkling moderation
Real dialogue creates real movement.
Good moderation isn’t about keeping time – it’s about creating connection. Max weaves together people, perspectives, and themes to open up space for fresh thinking. Light in tone, deep in content, clear in intention.
And here’s the beautiful twist:
Once we change the story, the perspective, the language – the future becomes surprisingly simple.
Everything starts to connect.
Not through complexity, but through clarity.
It’s not about predicting what’s next.
It’s about loving what’s next – and shaping it with purpose.
It’s about truly caring for others – not just measuring what’s easy to measure. A meaningful future doesn’t come from data points alone. It evolves from people who trust, who feel, and who love what they sense is possible.
Engaging workshops
From possibilities to prototypes.
This is where the future gets practical. Max’s workshops help teams and organizations turn new ideas into tangible strategies – with a focus on what truly creates value: for people, businesses, and entire regions.
