More about the show
“The future is already here, it’s just not very evenly distributed.” (William Gibson)
Gone are the days when exponential technologies like 3D Printing, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, hyperfast networks, Blockchain, and Quantum computers were mere science fiction. Research is advancing rapidly and business potential is growing… well, exponentially. Today, there are case studies, adoption assessments, training courses – simply all the resources needed to take a leap are available. The biggest obstacle preventing us from doing so is often ourselves – our old habits, rigid mindsets, fear of the unknown, preservation of the status quo, and missing capabilities. That’s where Futurescope comes in as your companion on the journey of adopting emerging new tech.
The program is divided into miniseries of 3 episodes, each focusing on a particular technology. We’ll always cover basic terminology and key milestones, as well as companies, entrepreneurs, researchers, and influencers in the field. Together, we’ll explore both the history and current examples where the tech is already in practical use. Then you’ll get a glimpse of the future developments expected in the next 3-7 years. Finally, we’ll leave you with practical advice and challenges to pursue on your own.
Our promise is to guide you through the basics and provide clear next steps so you understand where you are, what your ambitions could look like, and how to get started.
Who will guide you through the show?
Luboš Malý
Luboš has tried various roles from process engineering, through managerial roles up to global transformation projects. As an Innovations in Operations Director at the LEGO Group he focuses on utilisation of exponential technologies for making toys for the future generations of kids and adults. He co-founded the RedButton network whose purpose is to cultivate the environment in Czech and Slovak companies. Finally, he’d like to support sustainable shopping by the earthnest project. The marketplace directly contributes to Sustainable Development Goals by the UN. He changes organisations to organisms, employees to entrepreneurs and hierarchies to communities in his activities while connecting distant worlds of Virtual Reality, Robotics, Additive Manufacturing or Digitalisation with a sustainable and playful approach to work.
Martin Holečko
Martin is a visionary passionate about exploring how converging exponential technologies rapidly and profoundly change our lives and inspiring others to use them wisely to improve the world around us.
Currently Martin leads Future Port Prague, an international futuristic conference and festival focusing on exactly that. Since 2017, it has become a leading Central European gathering of innovators, enthusiasts, and leaders with 10k+ annual attendance.
Back in 1997 Martin co-founded Etnetera, today a group of hi-tech companies reinventing their clients’ businesses for the digital age. He was also at the birth of VRgineers in 2016, the world’s leading producer of high-end VR headsets for professional use.
Martin’s secret weapons are imagination, creativity, and the ability to excite and lead others towards a bold vision. He is most inspired by inspiring others to dare to think big.
