Futurum

Meeting creative masterminds and technology enthusiasts

Last April, the first Singularity University Germany Summit brought together more than 650 representatives from all industries and German medium-sized businesses in Berlin with the aim of discussing the opportunities and challenges of technological singularity for industry and the environment. The focus was above all on decisive trends and the latest developments relating to mobility, organisation, production, artificial intelligence, robotics, transport, logistics, 3D printing, machine learning and design thinking. Following the summit, our San Francisco correspondent Nicole Kidd talked to organiser Stephan Balzer, who has been entrepreneurially active at the intersection of technology and innovation for more than 25 years.
