Vita

Christopher Peterka was born in 1978 in Hückeswagen and grew up well-sheltered in the Bergisches Land as the son of two teachers. As an author, forecast futurist, serial founder, and investor, he has been training the imagination for innovative developments for three decades under the motto: “My destiny is the future.”

 

Under the brand "The Scout," he reports on what could become reality for his audience the day after tomorrow: new technologies, new business models, new behavior patterns. In lightning speed and free speech, he builds bridges from the everyday practice of his clients into possible futures in just a few minutes.

 

In order to achieve this, he conducts intensive personal field research on future images of doers in business, politics, and culture around the globe. Still in high school, he founded his first company with a school friend at the end of the 90s, achieving seven-figure sales within a year. In 2000, he conceptualized voice control of computers and founded again—this time with the support of venture capital investors.

 

Topics

Peterka's leitmotif 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 livelihood 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 with our own 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 the spirit, tickles the intellect and motivates people to embark on practical change - with a smile.
