Now prosperity depends on the people behind digital technology.

Erik Händeler makes the current situation understandable and thus takes away fear of the future; he awakens the energy to develop the next structural cycle and to invest in cooperation, health and people. Erik Händeler, business journalist, futurologist and bestselling author, started his career at a daily newspaper. He studied economic policy and economics at the LMU Munich. Since 1993, he has been researching the theory of long economic cycles (Kondratieff cycles). He became a bestselling author with his books “Die Geschichte der Zukunft” (11th edition) and “Kondratieffs Gedankenwelt - Die Chancen im Wandel zur Wissensgesellschaft” (8th edition). His new “History book for optimists - Why most things were worse in the past and will be better in the future” is currently in the works. The Russian Academy of Sciences honored him in 2010 for his economic achievements. With his expert know-how and polarizing theses, he leaves none of his listeners cold and is one of the most sought-after speakers in the field of productivity in the information society.
