Magnus Lindkvist

Magnus Lindkvist is an acclaimed futurologist and trendspotter who leads a prominent Swedish consultancy and maintains an active role within the TED community. With a professional background as a management consultant and filmmaker, he specialises in bridging the gap between rigorous business analytics and the visionary discipline of futurology. He challenges the traditional linear mindset, arguing that today's exponential pace of change requires organisations to rethink their approach to upcoming challenges and prospective opportunities. His research explores diverse sectors, from the evolution of consumer behaviour to the future of global energy. Magnus highlights the transition towards 'creative consumers' who expect meaningful rewards for their contributions to brands, as well as breakthroughs in biotechnology that could revolutionise fuel production. By replacing turn-of-the-century pessimism with a focus on tangible innovation, he provides a roadmap for navigating the complexities of digital business and sustainability. Magnus is frequently booked for his ability to synthesise complex data into compelling narratives that spark curiosity and laughter. His presentations are highly sought after by organisations looking for a speaker who combines intellectual depth with a high-energy performance style to inspire long-term strategic thinking. On stage, Magnus Lindkvist is best known for talks on Digital Business & Strategy, Innovation, Energy & Sustainability and Strategy.
