Christopher Peterka – The Scout for Your Future

Christopher Peterka is a futurist, author, entrepreneur, and serial founder – and a globally sought-after expert in future thinking, innovation culture, and technological transformation. Under the label "The Scout," he analyzes what will become reality the day after tomorrow – and shows companies how to strategically prepare for it today.

Thinking Futures – with Courage, Vision, and Clear Words

His motto: "My destiny is the future." For three decades, Christopher Peterka has been training the imagination of his audiences – fast, pointed, and inspiring. In his talks, he bridges everyday practice with the technologies, business models, and behavioral patterns of tomorrow in just seconds – all delivered in free speech.

Entrepreneurial Pioneer with a Global Perspective

While still in high school, Peterka founded his first company – achieving a seven-figure turnover in its first year. In 2000, he was already developing early concepts for voice control and investing in venture capital. Today, his field research takes him around the globe – meeting visionary thinkers from business, politics, and culture, whose visions he analyzes, interprets, and makes tangible.

Why You Should Book Christopher Peterka for Your Event

  • Futurist, serial entrepreneur, and global thought leader for innovation and transformation
  • Pioneer for new technologies, business models, and visions of the future
  • Keynotes delivered with speed, depth, clarity, and high practical relevance
  • Analytical lateral thinker with global field research and entrepreneurial experience
  • Ideal for strategy days, innovation conferences, digital events, and transformation processes

Are you looking for a speaker who thinks far beyond the obvious, brings change to life, and inspires people to take responsibility for the future? Then Christopher Peterka is your first choice: Keynotes with vision, impact – and the feeling of already knowing the next step today.

 

Topics

Peterka's leading motive is his progressive, optimistic stance in favor of an economically sustainable future in freedom and peace. He speaks plainly about the situation: “We have long been in an open battle for the supremacy of political value systems. Will we find our living in US dependence on technology giants? Will we have to find our way in a Chinese-dominated system?

 

Or will we perhaps still - and once again - manage to outsmart the rest of the world through our own efforts and German ingenuity? Unlike many technology enthusiasts, Peterka puts his finger on the current wounds of a lack of curiosity, self-indulgent engineering romanticism and sluggish loyalty to authority.

 

In this way, he awakens spirits, tickles the intellect and motivates people to embark on practical change - with a smile.
 

Lectures 2025

 

On War in Europe: An Honest Call for Courageous Transformation

What if Europe’s gravest threat isn’t external—but rooted in its own cultivated inertia? This talk is a call to fundamentally rethink how we see ourselves and our place in the world.

  • Readiness is not about firepower, but about mental clarity, strategic depth, and the willingness to confront—and act on—hard truths.
  • Europe’s values lose meaning when they aren’t embodied through coherent action. Those who preach freedom must be structurally prepared to defend it—beyond symbolic gestures.
  • The future won’t be inherited, it must be reimagined. Education, resilience, and cultural self-assertion form the silent architecture of true defensibility.
