2. new generations, new technology new realities

3. Ex-game addict to innovation playground creator

4. 3D printing is cool
RIGHT?
Who of you have ever tried to 3D print something?

5. IF you want to join the Tech fun!

6. 3D foodprinting
174+ materials printable, every product that can
be melted, powdered and baked from a fluid is a
potential for 3D printing.

Additive Industries (Metals) – Ultimaker (Plastics)

8. Telepresence robots
When are you ready for a robot companion?
When I am:
A. Old
B. Sick
C. Seeking a buddy/Lonely
D. replacing/Automating my work

10. 74% of todays job will
dissapear: What will
you automate or remote
control yourself in the
next 5-10 years?
1. Farming
2. Serving Food
3. Welcome people/Receptionist
4. Tour guide/waiter
5. Personal assistant
6. Dietrist

13. Youngsters in the
basement inventing
the following
Augmented and
Virtual Reality tools
to directly train &
get a more

restaurant
experience.

14. When would you upskill yourself in Soft & Hard skills
completely over a VR headset at home?
1. In about 5 years
2. In about 10 years
3. Never!
4. Whenever it becomes freely available
5. When it doesn’t judge me anymore like a teacher does…
Walk around a random school in VR here

16. 3D printing Examples?
What would be your first hospitality idea?

18. SolarCooking ready?

19. What can you do to become
a step more environmental
friendly & safe CO2
footprint in your daily life?

20. We can raise the bar in
hospitality to become
sustainable, healthy and
non GMO
If the drone could help us to identify attacks of
powdery mildew and downy mildew (the two
main diseases that affect the vine and the
quality of the grapes) much faster, we could
develop preventive actions much faster and
not have to resort to curative treatments, and
in this way improve the quality even further."
And why not dream of a drone that will itself,
vine by vine, lay down the individual
treatment.

21. Let’s save
some animals
along the
way
Would you want
to learn to fly
a drone if you
could save
endangered
animals?

22. Drones are being used for so much more than cool aftermovies

24. Healthy habits designed by AI.
Would you test & share your
DNA for a longer happy life
REcommendation?
