EPTDA Tenerife 2019 Speakers

Nicklas Bergman

Nicklas Bergman has spent the last 25 years working as an entrepreneur and technology investor, mostly focusing on investments and business development in emerging markets, IT software and hardware, instrumentation, nanotechnology, new materials and new media art, currently through more than 10 direct and indirect investments.

In Tenerife, Nicklas Bergman will explain how digitization is highly relevant but only the warm-up. True disruption will come from a combination of new digital technologies such as AI, blockchain and the Internet of Things in combination with a deeper understanding of nanotechnology, neuro technology as well as biotechnology and genetics. In a couple of decades, this will create a world that’s totally different from the one we’re living in today.

Ramon Vullings

The “IdeaDJ”, Ramon Vullings helps business leaders bring the outside world in. He advocates why remixing ideas across-sectors and industries is not only smart, but the only strategy to thrive in a highly complex, increasingly competitive and digitally connected world.

Ramon Vullings will share insights from his latest research focusing on how leaders can leverage the power of combinations in an ever more complex world. Our society and businesses face complicated and ‘wicked problems’. Ramon shows how cross-over cooperation between silos and sectors, and cross-industry innovation are crucial to resolve these conflicts.
