Anne Dencker Bædkel

Having worked with futures studies since 2013, Anne realized that futures literacy, or knowledge about the future, is about knowing how trends that are already happening will either intensify and unfold – or fade away. Or put another way, futures studies are the awareness of change. By being extremely observant of change outside one’s comfort zone - it is possible to get an idea of what is coming your way by early recognition of new development patterns. And if more people, politicians and organizations do this, we could make much better decisions about how to react to change. Anne is Head of Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies Global Scanning Network and editor in chief of the publication Global Scanning Review. Anne also has a column in Scenario Magazine, where she writes about digital culture. Since 2013, Anne has hosted and facilitated workshops in Danish, English and the Scandinavian languages. She has held keynote presentations and workshops in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, The US and Russia. Highlights from Anne’s research are Future Media, Changing Communities and the Home of the Future.

Mikkel Aarø-Hansen

Hello! In 2015 I took office as CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen. We promote and develop the greater Copenhagen area as tourist destination. I have grown up with Copenhagen - from when it was poor, dirty and with little hope until today’s modern, green and top-ranked international Copenhagen. I am both excited and anxious to see what comes next. How the city will be influenced by, and influence right back, a still more interdependent urban World - heading towards 1,8 billion int. tourist arrivals in 2030. Somehow, I became 46 years old. I commenced university in 1992, the year when World leaders committed to sustainable development by adopting for instance the UN Climate Convention. For 15 years I have been working for sustainable development locally and internationally in various positions, such as Director of the Environmental Department in the City of Copenhagen, Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Danish Ministry for the Environment and Chairman of OECD’s Environmental Policy Committee.
