Abstracts
Is energy more important than money in our economy? Should we use less, or more energy? Will we all be energy suppliers? Are renewable resources already secretly leading the entire energy game? Will energy be free one day? “I never looked at energy this way, this talk really changed my view” is a common reaction after hearing this talk by Arash, during which you will get an insight in the current state of energy, enriched with surprising perspectives on technology, markets, geopolitics, as well as a clear image of the future, the Internet of Energy: distributed, digitalized, democratized, demonetized.
Once we zoom out of our daily realities we realize that not money, but matter and energy make the world go round. Economic growth is merely a virtual truth, a human construct. But can we find a way for economic growth that is aligned with the eternal laws of nature? During this keynote you hear a fascinating and solid, fact-based view on energy as the true currency behind our economy and society. Also, Arash explains how today’s technologies –artificial intelligence, IoT, blockchain- finally make it possible for every human being to become independent from the banking system, by becoming renewable energy prosumers. A mind-shifting talk filled with vision and realism that inspires the audience to ask the big questions and make the big change.
As an entrepreneur and a family man who failed at least as many times as he was successful Arash shares his stories of how losing everything was the best opportunity to win anything. The biggest crises –losing his business more than once, his marriage, his health, his home- helped him change his view on the world, recognize opportunities, and turn them into new realities. His firm belief that every crisis is here to provide opportunities inspires his audience to do the same.
