Lukas Pierre Bessis is a futurist, bestselling author, and one of Germany’s most inspiring voices on the future of humanity. For years, he has travelled to the world’s leading innovation hubs, meeting renowned scientists, visionary founders, and pioneering entrepreneurs. From Silicon Valley and China to Finland, Sweden, and Portugal, he has explored the technologies, ideas, and breakthroughs that are already transforming how we live, work, and think. His mission is clear: to make the future understandable, tangible, and exciting. Before becoming a futurist and keynote speaker, Lukas spent more than a decade as a creative director in the advertising industry. His background in communication education, professional speaking, voice coaching, neuroscience, creative development, and idea research gives him a distinctive ability to turn complex developments into captivating stories and powerful visions.
In 2015, his groundbreaking book Kill Your Agency, published by Haufe, challenged conventional thinking about creativity and quickly became a recognised reference for effective idea development. Since then, Lukas has inspired thousands of people with his acclaimed keynote series Life 2025 and has spoken for leading companies, organisations, and decision-makers across Europe.
At LEAD27, he presents his latest keynote, “Humanity 2035 – We, the Superhumans.” In this energetic and thought-provoking talk, Lukas reveals how artificial intelligence, biotechnology, longevity research, robotics, and human enhancement may transform our lives within the next decade.
His keynotes combine scientific insight, bold ideas, humour, and a contagious optimism about what lies ahead. Lukas does not simply predict the future — he makes audiences want to be part of it.
