Anders Indset – Leading Business Philosopher & Future Thinker
Anders Indset is the world’s leading business philosopher with seven international bestsellers. Having delivered over 1,500 speeches in 60 countries, he inspires executives, politicians, and decision-makers worldwide at the intersection of humanity and technology. His ability to anticipate future scenarios makes him a sought-after speaker at the most relevant conferences around the globe, such as the World Economic Forum, the Global HR Summit, and the Mobile World Congress.
He combines Norwegian values and charisma with German clarity of thought and an engaging, American-influenced presentation style. Thanks to this unique combination, he is known as the “Rock’n’Roll Plato.”
The Norwegian-born polymath is also Chairman of the Njordis Group and an active deep-tech investor, linking his practical philosophy directly with the corporate and societal arenas. With his visionary thinking, he not only serves as an advisor to leading international institutions but also plays a pivotal role in shaping the debate on the economic and cultural challenges of our time.
Anders Indset's 2025 talks & topics
The Bridge Between Human and Machine—SINGULARITY PARADOX
Anders is a bridge-builder between humanity and technology, shaping the world of tomorrow with his practical philosophy. He explores the implications of artificial intelligence and the path toward both general intelligence and an artificial-human intelligence.
The Operating System of Our Society—QUANTUM ECONOMY
If we want to understand society, we must rethink the economy. Anders asks, “What comes after digitalization?” and explains why “Queen Capitalism” needs an upgrade — a PATCH. He envisions achieving an eco-social market economy primarily through unleashing human potential and exploring technological possibilities.
Leadership in the Exponential Age—ANTICIPATED FUTURE
With his deep understanding of the impact of exponential technologies, Anders demonstrates how and why leadership — and its connection to philosophy — is more relevant than ever. He firmly believes that in a world with nearly unlimited access to knowledge, a deeper understanding, the ability to anticipate future scenarios, and the development of interpersonal skills will be the most sought-after competencies for leaders.
Future and Entrepreneurship—TRIANGULAR ALCHEMY
What will companies of the future look like? What new business models can be developed? While a world-class product was once a competitive advantage, today it is merely a given. A successful company is defined by its dynamic adaptability and a learning mindset — the Infinite Organization. The fundamental structure of such an organization consists of a dynamic triad: incubation, investment, and the existing product.
High-Performance Culture and Values—THE VIKING CODE
We humans are made to create. With the Viking Code, Anders presents a new approach to performance: growing individually while strengthening the collective good. This understanding forms the foundation of a performance culture — one in which we redefine ‘success’ and ‘performance’ and actively shape our future.
The Art of the Possible—POSSIBILISM
Between negative pessimism, which primarily sees risks, limitations, and problems, and utopian optimism, which relies on naive hopes or unrealistic future promises, stands an alternative: Possibilism.
Society of Understanding—RE-ENLIGHTENMENT
Anders is convinced that, in an era of exponential technologies, a new intellectual and cultural movement is needed — one whose central mission is to empower people to liberate themselves from what is perceived as their “self-imposed” immaturity.
What is needed is a Society of Understanding, in which individuals learn to think independently and with self-determination — freeing themselves from dependence on purely reactive technology.
A New Existentialism—“A STATE OF BEING UNDEAD”
In times when the boundaries between perceived reality and virtuality are increasingly blurring, one pressing question arises: Where has the human being gone? The real threat does not lie in the polarization of supposed opposites — analog vs. digital — but in how we perceive the world. In a virtual world, the perception of our own perception is just as real as in the so-called physical world.
God from the Machine—EX MACHINA
Since Plato’s reflections on existence, the nature of reality has been a source of fascination. From Descartes’ skepticism to Dennett’s illusionism, groundbreaking ideas have shaped our worldview. With exponential technologies, a new possibility comes into focus: Are we living in a simulation? The rise of exponential technologies has brought the idea of simulating the universe with quantum computing to the forefront of this debate. Could our reality be part of a chain of simulations?
