2. 12. 2026
As part of the Rog Design Days post-festival programme, Center Rog will host Swedish designer and futurist Niklas Madsen, founder of Superlab.
We are living in an era of unprecedented change, where artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, shifting consumer behaviours and global uncertainty are rapidly transforming industries and redefining the rules of competition. Madsen will explore the global megatrends shaping the next five to ten years and their impact on design, creativity and innovation. Drawing on fifteen years of global trend scouting, research and real-world examples, he will highlight the challenges and opportunities facing designers, makers, architects and creative entrepreneurs.
Madsen is an international keynote speaker, author and future strategist with more than 25 years of experience in design, innovation and strategic development. He translates complex trends into clear, practical insights, challenging established thinking and helping audiences identify new opportunities.
The talk will take place on Wednesday, 2 December, at 4 pm, in Multipurpose Room 2 on the 2nd floor of Center Rog.
The talk will be held in English. Admission is free.
All welcome!
