As a speaker for the session “Digital Trends & Skills” for executives, he inspired the audience with his view into the future and at the same time with intellectual puzzles of the market in the “here and now”.”

Why we chose Themis Foresight:
We have worked with Themis Foresight before on another topic related to foresight, trend radar and related business recommendations. What particularly impressed us about the team at Themis Foresight was the depth of experience combined with a friendly, approachable yet professional attitude that puts the client's needs front and center. This is always an argument for us to contact Themis Foresight when we are faced with digital and innovative challenges.
