Mats Lewan is a highly sought-after international futurist, author, and technology visionary who bridges the complex gap between exponential technological advancement and human-centric innovation. With a formidable background in engineering physics and decades of experience analysing global tech trends, Lewan delivers unparalleled strategic foresight to C-suite leaders, empowering them to navigate the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence, digitalisation, and the future of work.
Holding a Master of Science in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Mats possesses a deep, foundational understanding of the mechanics driving tomorrow’s technologies. He spent over fifteen years as a leading technology journalist, notably writing for Sweden’s premier technology magazine, Ny Teknik, and acting as a freelance reporter for the international tech network CBS CNET. This extensive investigative background allows him to critically assess emerging technologies, consistently separating fleeting hype from foundational paradigm shifts.
As the author of the internationally acclaimed book An Impossible Invention, Mats has demonstrated a unique capability to explore the frontiers of scientific discovery and the profound societal impacts of disruptive innovation. His proprietary frameworks focus on a crucial corporate philosophy: while technology drives exponential change and efficiency, human attributes—such as creativity, empathy, leadership, and ethical reasoning—remain the irreplaceable core of successful future enterprises.
Mats Lewan equips organisations with the clarity required to demystify artificial intelligence and embrace exponential tech trends. His core message empowers executive decision-makers to view technology as a powerful enabler rather than a disruptive threat. By integrating Lewan’s strategic insights, leaders learn to automate the mundane while amplifying the uniquely human traits within their workforce. Ultimately, his guidance ensures sustainable growth, robust continuous innovation, and an enduring competitive advantage in an increasingly digitalised global economy.
"I just have to thank you Mats Lewan, publicly, who today delivered a brilliant standup lecture, straight up and down with all its rhetorical tricks. I have seen thousands of lectures, as an audience, as a moderator and the new thing is a demand for short speeches followed by conversations and reflections. This was simply the best I've seen in that genre. Thanks for coming Mats and brightening up the convention."
“I asked my colleagues and they had these comments: Thoughtworthy! Well prepared and pedagogic! Passionate! Exhilarating! Exciting! Engaging! Revolutionary! Recommended! Everyone should get his lecture! You brought strong emotions and thoughts. You painted a future scenario that is contrary to the foundations that govern our work as labor intermediaries, e.g. that we should get people into work and create new jobs. What you said is revolutionary because it essentially means that society is slowly changing towards being more and more run by artificial intelligence rather than humans. Man is about to eliminate herself and no-one reacts. Future work is more specialized and qualified, while unskilled jobs will be carried out by robots and computers.”
“I have had the privilege of collaborating with Mats several times in recent years and he impresses me greatly with his versatility. He excels as a lecturer, and has a deep competence in many different areas. He excels as a moderator, is well versed in the subjects being discussed as well as in the background and the area of competence of the speakers. With the help of his own interest and knowledge in the issues, he guides the speakers or panel members in order to create an interesting and inspiring situation that is welcomed by the participants and the audience. Most recently in June 2020, I booked Mats as a host of a two-day live conference. Around 60 participants—the majority participated in the studio and some participated via link—in short max 30-minute program features with current and very varied topics together with well-known representatives from business, economics, politics, community service, security, small business, education, etc. Mats excelled again. I highly recommend Mats.”
“I would like to thank you Mats for the outstanding and thought provoking presentation you held at the inauguration of our new production facilities in Stenungsund, Sweden. We are a 'bricks and mortar' type of company with a traditional thinking style. The use of new technology is not obvious to us. Nevertheless, you were able to take an idea from concept into something exciting and visual, that really reinforced the message you wanted to get across. You managed to inspire a large and diverse group of people with your way of communicating in an excellent way. I would warmly recommend others to use your services.”
“An amazing and inspiring talk initiated by bringing an uneasy and unsettling feeling when Mats in an excellent manner visualizes where our world is headed and at what furious pace this is happening. The lecture ends splendidly where the audience's feeling of unease is abruptly replaced by hope in that he manages to raise awareness of the enormous and amazing opportunities we have in the radical paradigm shift that we currently find ourselves in.”
