Foresight Sessions
– Individual Zukunftswerkstätten
In the beginning of the program each founder or team is offered an intensive Zukunftswerkstatt-process – a deep, facilitated session designed to stretch their thinking beyond immediate product decisions and into long-term strategic clarity. If needed, the Zukunftswerkstatt can also be used as an iterative offer to challenge current bottlenecks.
These sessions combine methods from foresight, design thinking, and future science to give founders a structured way to look further ahead than their competitors.
Rather than reacting to today’s constraints, individuals explore the unfolding trajectories of technology, culture, markets, and user behaviour – and reposition their ideas accordingly.
In each Zukunftswerkstatt, founders work on:
- redefining the long-term problem worth solving
- anticipating emerging market shifts and future customer needs
- mapping critical uncertainties and opportunity spaces
- testing the resilience of their idea against multiple possible futures
- sharpening their AI-native positioning – what becomes uniquely possible because of AI
- integrating insights into concrete iterations for the next development cycle
These sessions are not theoretical.
They are highly practical, highly focused, and tailored to each founder’s or team’s stage and direction.
They help founders make decisions with a wider horizon in mind – reducing the risk of building something that becomes obsolete the moment AI capabilities shift or accelerate again.
The result is a stronger, more future-aligned idea, clearer differentiation, and a business model that is designed to survive – and thrive – in the market beyond 2030.
Our program:
Hub Membership
At the heart of our program sits human-to-human collaboration.
For €100 per month we offer our members a focused surrounding where they don’t build solo, but with others immersed at the frontier. Once a month, before a hackathon or community dinner, the Hub hosts a shared 2-hour colloquium to exchange bottlenecks, test assumptions, and find solutions through collective ideation.
Foresight Sessions
A free Zukunftswerkstatt to assess your own AI-native potential until 2035. Facilitated for each founder or founder team to expand the possibility space and uncover potential bottlenecks, using tools from foresight, design thinking and future science.
Helps founders clarify their long-term vision, future market potential, and AI-native positioning.
One-on-one Mentoring
On-demand mentorship sessions for technical, organizational, or strategic challenges with either of the Hub founders.
Option to bring in external experts for topic-specific advice.
Coworking
Shared workspace (“AI Basecamp”) equipped with internet, a meeting zone, and a living-room-inspired prototyping environment in the heart of Plagwitz, Leipzig.
On-demand check-ins and light-touch coaching for any challenge.
School Incubator
An after-school (GTA) offer to raise future founders at Leipzig’s Ostwald Gymnasium.
Students are enabled to explore original ideas in small teams and approach real-world challenges by building AI-native solutions close to their lived reality.
AI Fridays
Monthly events and get-togethers where anyone can drop in to explore what’s emerging in AI.
Including discussions, resident speakers, hackathons, community dinners, and thematic workshops that bring together Hub members and AI enthusiasts across disciplines to highlight new ideas and developments.
