      Futurist & Biohacker: Decoding the Future of Human Enhancement and Biotechnology

      Core Intelligence Domain: Future of Healthcare
      Location: The Netherlands | Languages: English, Dutch
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Peter Joosten is an internationally acclaimed biohacker, foresight strategist, and technology ethicist dedicated to mapping the convergence of human biology and emerging technologies. Operating at the frontier of human enhancement, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence, he provides corporate leaders, healthcare professionals, and policymakers with the strategic frameworks required to navigate the imminent ‘Superhuman Era.’ As a sought-after authority on the future of health, Joosten bridges the complex gap between science fiction and tangible biotechnological reality, translating disruptive medical innovations into actionable societal and business insights.

      Pioneering the Future of Health and Human Optimisation

      As a prominent voice in the European biohacking community, Peter Joosten has spent years researching the profound impacts of human augmentation. He is the author of several highly regarded books, including Supermens (Superhuman) and Biohacking, which serve as foundational texts for understanding how biotechnology is fundamentally altering human capabilities. His research explores the entire spectrum of human optimisation, from the Quantified Self and wearable technology to neurostimulation, CRISPR genetic editing, and anti-ageing interventions.

      Joosten is the curator of an influential platform and podcast dedicated to human enhancement, where he interviews global scientists, innovators, and philosophers. His ability to synthesise complex biomedical data into engaging, accessible narratives has made him a frequent guest lecturer at esteemed universities, a two-time TEDx speaker, and a trusted consultant for forward-thinking organisations seeking to understand the ethical and commercial implications of the bio-revolution.

      Strategic Frameworks and Technological Foresight

      Unlike traditional futurists, Peter Joosten adopts a hands-on approach to technological foresight. He actively tests and analyses biohacking technologies, providing a grounded, empirical perspective on what is currently possible and what remains speculative. He challenges audiences to consider critical ethical questions: How do we ensure equitable access to human enhancement? What are the implications of merging the human brain with AI? By exploring these paradigms, Joosten empowers audiences to make informed, strategic decisions in an era where biology is becoming an engineering discipline.

      Key Speaking Topics

      • The Superhuman Era: An exploration of how biohacking, AI, and genetic editing are redefining the boundaries of human potential and what this means for society.

      • “Peter gave the keynote on Health x Tech, an evening on the topic of medical technology organized by the faculty associations of medicine and engineering science at KU Leuven. Almost 500 students and alumni attended the event. With his accessible and interactive lecture, Peter was able to create a curious mindset among the public and set the tone for a successful evening. He was well prepared and even introduced the other lecturers when touching their fields of experience in the keynote. Peter is a very approachable and kind person and the communication to make arrangements on the keynote was smooth and enjoyable."
