Jan Berger

Jan Berger is the Founder and CEO of the Think Tank Themis Foresight.

His keynotes deal with the interplay between business, technology, society and politics. Unlike other futurists, he does not paint a rosy picture in his talks. He is interested in providing his audience with validated insights and discussing the opportunities and risks that social and technological changes will bring for companies’ business models and innovation needs.

Jan Berger is the author and co-author of numerous future studies, trend analyses and books. He is a sought-after sparring partner for corporate executives.

Jan Berger studied history at Moscow State University after the collapse of the Soviet empire. He has lived and worked on four continents. He currently lives alternately in Berlin and on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

His keynotes deal with topics in the interplay between technology, society and the resulting business models. Jan Berger feels at home in various industries – whether in retail, finance, mobility, IT, health, real estate or food. His presentations utilize research findings from Themis Foresight, which are the result of scientific work – mostly in projects with clients of his think tank.

Jan Berger: “An innovation is only good if you earn money with it.”

In addition to discussing possible future business models, Jan Berger’s lectures are also dedicated to the question of how principles of work, organization and management are changing and which principles can form the basis of new models.

According to legend, the Greek goddess and namesake of his institute, Themis, was famous for separating fact from fiction with her sword. In this spirit, Jan Berger questions popular myths about artificial intelligence, generational characteristics or “new work” models in his keynotes from the perspective of a proponent of the application of modern technologies.

Clients who have experienced Jan Berger on stage still report years later on the power of the images he draws in his presentations and the food for thought they have taken away for their own company.
