Summary (if you're in a hurry.)

Prof. Bernd Thomsen is a futurist, strategist and innovation expert. Over the last three decades he almost always turned out to be right (while his forecasts in the early days were not taken seriously): He predicted emerging India. Today India is one of the worlds fastest growing economy. But he forecasts more than world economic developments: Different societal changes and new industries too. For example to-go habits and rising coffee markets when nobody knew starbucks. In the early 90's of the last century he predicted the sharing economy, which came true 20 years later (Airbnb, Uber, Wework, car2go, DriveNow). The overwhelming majority of his forecasts comes true. And he developes products you use every day, like that longerfresh milk globally 75% of households drink daily. It stays fresh 3 weeks and is cappuccino-friendly foamable (before it wasn't foamable and gone bad after 3 days).
