Andreas Ekstrom

Keynote Speaker: Swedish Journalist, Author & Digital Futurist; Award-Winning Speaker; Known for "On Finding"

Andreas Ekstrom Biography

Andreas Ekström is an award-winning Swedish journalist, author, and digital futurist who wrote a bestselling book about Google – and has since been a keynote speaker, consultant, and commentator on all things digital. He is a senior staff writer at Swedish morning paper Sydsvenskan. His big break as an author was a journalistic study of Google, published in 2010, and it established him as one of our leading authorities in understanding and explaining the highs and lows of the digital revolution. His global educational work won him the Swedish ”Speaker of the Year” award in early 2019. The critically acclaimed ”On Finding” is his seventh book, and the first one to be published in English. He has done multiple TED talks and he is often hired as a “digital thought partner”.

Ekström is a sought-after keynote speaker for conferences all over the world. His lectures reach from issues of digitalization and media to politics and culture. His take on tech is not really on the tech itself, but rather the sociology of tech, the digital revolution, and how it affects us.

His passion is to educate for digital equality and a re-democratization of the internet. Ekström wants to see a world in which we share the wealth – not only financially, but also in terms of knowledge and influence. As he puts it; “If you look for a motivation, a mission statement of mine, that’s it, right there”.

Andreas Ekstrom Speaking Topics

Organic Intelligence

The term “organic intelligence” that Andreas Ekström has coined equals the sum of the human experience needed in the AI revolution. What people know. What people can provide. What values might mean. What happens in collaboration.

Ekström will stress the need for research, development, and learning throughout the AI transformative years – but refuses to give you bullet points or simplified action plans that very well might be useless in six months. Right now, the world is in a learning phase, and Ekström is phenomenal in ensuring that the process starts within all groups he works with.

As a reporter with many years of experience covering the field, Ekström holds amazing insights into how the world of media, business, and politics is affected by the main digital power players of the world. This comes into play in the "Organic Intelligence" sessions, where participants walk away with an excellent set of tools and new questions for further learning. This can and should ideally be a demanding keynote that needs pairing with groups that want to go beyond the session as such and really work hard on their own learning and development with high intellectual ambition, yet not weighed down by technical detail, but rather keeping an eye on the big picture.

Seven Ways to Own the World

Make your business future-proof! "Seven Ways to Own the World" is a mind-blowing futurist exposé over seven massive digital challenges that we, the people, must solve together. Soon. If we do it right, we will not only understand the future better than most, but we also are in the driver's seat for our own learning and business development.

Andreas Ekström gave a presentation with this name for the very first time in 2016. It turned out to be an absolute global smash hit and has kept Ekström working in 31 countries. But today, it's really just the name that remains the same – the material is constantly evolving, and while some challenges show great promise, other issues have been added.

If you want to start a seminar, an educational day, or a commercial event for your premium clients and provide them with something that will expand the vision and the curiosity of whoever is listening, this is the keynote to deliver exactly that. To make it just right, Andreas will insist on a preparatory call with the client, known as he is for meticulous tailoring of his content.

The Power of &

In his perhaps most philosophical keynote to date, Andreas Ekström investigates the culture of the internet and what it means for our public life and professional arenas. What are we really fighting about? How come some issues that demand immediate solutions seem to go nowhere? And most of all, how can we find better models for our decision-making?

This is the talk for any leader who wants to think differently and inject some oxygen into each and every individual in an organization. Ekström will use examples of Swedish collective decision-making culture, he will talk passionately about democracy and executive decision-making, and he will end on a high note, sleeves rolled up:

• This is how we can do better.

• These are the models that have proved themselves worthy of your time and attention.

• This is how you can make a digital professional generation work smarter and better together by looking honestly at our personal reactions, thoughts, and emotions.
