"Mathias from ANTICIPATE delivered an inspiring and thought-provoking opening session for our Europe INSIGHT study visit in Copenhagen. His presentation on future trends in education provided an excellent foundation for the discussions and site visits that followed throughout the week.

The combination of strategic foresight, practical examples, and engaging discussion helped our group of education leaders broaden their perspective on the future of learning, AI, and innovation.

We greatly appreciated this contribution to the programme and would gladly recommend ANTICIPATE to organizations looking for a stimulating and forward-looking learning experience."

Foresight and Strategic Analysis Manager, TETOS

“The Foresight Facilitator course is a really strong starting point if you’re new to foresight, and just as valuable if you want to deepen your practice.

What I liked most is that it goes beyond theory and really puts you into the role of a facilitator, working on real cases, designing your own workshop, and learning by actually doing it. You don’t just leave with tools, but with the confidence to use them, and a network of inspiring people who are on a similar journey.”

“This ANTICIPATE Megatrends publication has been a wonderful resource.

I'm using it this semester with a wonderful group of graduate students in my Global Energy Futures course - and for many of the students this is their first experience with futures and strategic foresight methodologies - so publications like this are a brilliant resource not only in the information presented - but as an exemplar in how futures work is communicated and can be consumed and used for strategic planning.”

”This training gave me the confidence I needed to facilitate foresight. It helped me map out which methods to use in different workshop scenarios and connect theory with practice.”

“Sharp insights and perspectives presented professionally in a way that resonated with the audience. It was a pleasure to welcome Mathias from ANTICIPATE into a network of experienced and strategically minded leaders who unanimously gained both fresh and thought-provoking perspectives—as well as an awareness of the need to act on them.

Highly and warmly recommended, whether you’re looking for inspiration or positive provocation.”

Anders Seneca
Network Director, F5

“We had the pleasure of working with ANTICIPATE during our annual strategy sessions on academic offering and future directions.

Mathias and Søs brought a high level of professionalism and insight, and the tools ANTICIPATE has developed to continuously scan the megatrend horizon proved to be incredibly valuable. It was a true pleasure collaborating with them.”

Manuela Procopio
Academic Manager, IED Barcelona

”I had the pleasure of participating in an engaging ConsilioNexus Circle, focusing on the topic “Cybersecurity: From technology to leadership responsibility.” It led to many interesting discussions and reflections on the geopolitical threat landscape, maturity levels, risk models, strategic responsibility, etc., from a wide range of small, medium, and large companies across very different industries.

Thanks to Mathias Behn Bjørnhof from ANTICIPATE for strong facilitation.”

R&D Director, Grundfos

"Mathias delivered a highly engaging and insightful 1½‑hour session for my F5 network group, and the feedback has been outstanding. His ability to combine sharp strategic perspectives with real‑world relevance made the session both inspiring and directly applicable to our daily leadership challenges.

Mathias brings a natural presence, great energy, and a clear passion for helping leaders navigate change. I can warmly recommend him and ANTICIPATE to any leadership group looking for a high‑impact session."

Anders Beck
Networking Director, F5

”Participating in a Circle is a real pleasure – though that’s not to say it doesn’t require energy and presence. Taking part comes with a commitment: being in a confidential space with competent peers where current and strategically important topics are discussed across industries.

The meeting is run with a “firm hand” by Mathias from ANTICIPATE, a highly prepared facilitator, and this format increases the value of the session as the topic is explored and assessed from different sector perspectives. The sparring in a group of 5–6 people ensures that everyone gets a voice and the dynamic is maintained for the benefit of all.

Of course, the outcome depends on your own contribution – but if you do engage, the experience is extremely rewarding. I can fully confirm that.”

CEO, Taulov Dry Port

”The Selling Foresight Masterclass was a great investment. It struck a nerve and met a real need. The session spoke directly to the daily challenges I face, bringing foresight into organisations, and gave language to things I’ve often struggled to explain.

It wasn’t just about tools, but about how we show up, how we position our work, and how we find our own voice. It made me feel less alone and more equipped to advocate for the mindset shift foresight demands.

A smart, timely offering that will stay with me for a long time."

Giulia Wälter
Business Developer

"It’s always great to get tips straight from industry experts in the casual format of a webinar. Mathias (ANTICIPATE) and Chloe shared both their wins and their challenges openly. Selling foresight is one of the toughest project types out there, which makes advice from seasoned forecasters all the more valuable."

Carla Moss
Cultural Strategist & Semiotician

"I found the Selling Foresight Masterclass by ANTICIPATE and Chloé de Ruffray super valuable. What really stood out was their generosity in sharing learnings and best practices, and the sense of being part of a wider community committed to creating engagement, passion, and momentum for foresight. Very exciting!"

Pippa Goodman
Co-Founder & Managing Director, Next Up Foresight

"I really enjoyed joining the ANTICIPATE webinar on selling foresight. As someone working in trends & futures myself, I found their insights on selling foresight projects both practical and inspiring.

What stood out most was the atmosphere they created, bringing together people from the same field, holding space for honest sharing and connection. It’s energizing to experience such openness in our industry."

Delia Wieser

“We need more of this in our industry. In their masterclass Selling Foresight, ANTICIPATE and Chloé de Ruffray focus on welcoming you into new ways of thinking and approaching futures rooted in practical hands-on lessons that linger past their session."

Amy Daroukakis

“Thank you so much for the workshop, it was really insightful. We had never worked with or thought about the future like that. In addition, the interactive exercises in the peaceful setting and good weather of the Democracy Garage were just what the fellows needed. We all really enjoyed it.”

“A futures rockstar!

What an insightful afternoon with the visionary Mathias Behn Bjørnhof, who took us for a ride in his time machine and taught us, that there is no better time to prepare for the future than right now!

Thanks Mathias for enlightening all of us in how to navigate in a world of continuous changes - and especially for sharing your passion for building better systems that benefit both people and the planet.”

Charlotte Alexandra Pedersen
COO, ConsilioNexus

"The workshop met and exceeded expectations—highly relevant both thematically and in terms of the level of discussion. The facilitation was strong, with well-chosen research examples that felt both practical and thought-provoking.

The exploration of paradoxes, like balancing disruption with local leadership agendas, added valuable depth and reflection at the right moment. It left us motivated and ready to apply these insights within a broader, long-term perspective.

Kudos to ANTICIPATE for delivering such a well-structured session."

Senior Program Manager, CARE

"The future is plural! This was the idea that stayed with me after attending ANTICIPATE’s foresight training in Copenhagen.

Mathias Behn Bjørnhof, a true professional in the field, emphasized that foresight isn’t about predicting the future—it’s about strategic thinking, exploring possible scenarios, and uncovering new perspectives and opportunities.

What I loved most was how practical it felt. Foresight isn’t about grand visions that are interesting to hear but impossible to act on. It’s about mapping the future—looking at megatrends, signals, challenges, and potential paths forward. It’s a key part of strategic planning, both for organizations and for states that want to intelligently plan and shape their vision for the future.

Now that I’ve got this foundation, my next step is to explore how to apply foresight in sustainability communication."

"Mathias from ANTICIPATE gave an open, personal and engaging talk at the Copenhagen International Rotary Club, where he shared his knowledge and experience in a way that really made us think about the future differently.

He encouraged us to see new opportunities and gave us practical exercises and questions to spark ideas—both for ourselves and for our work. I left feeling inspired and full of new energy."

"At the Council of Europe we had the great opportunity to listen to Mathias’ (ANTICIPATE) perspective about future development of democracy(ies). It was an important contribution to our work as resilience and strategic foresight is crucial for Council of Europe’s contribution to democratic governance.

Mathias from ANTICIPATE inspired us in the current very challenging times for Europe and the world. Thank you so much for your time and effort"

“I really enjoyed the session—it was super organized and packed with great insights. The facilitator was clear and really knew how to get everyone involved in building our prototypes in LEGO. It was also cool to meet other managers and swap stories. The whole day left me feeling inspired!”

Senior Manager, Supply Chain, Welltec

“The welcome at ANTICIPATE and Mathias' presentations during the afternoon was excellent. The workshop and discussions were very interesting and informative.

Thank you to ANTICIPATE and especially Mathias for his kindness throughout the day. You will always be welcome in Donosti and Galicia.”
