September’s speaker is Kashif Hasnie, Futurist and Visioneer.
Join us September 10th for Wise Words where we will explore innovation in the Hybrid Age and tap into the mind of Kashif Hasnie – a futurist with a firm belief that resources are abundant, as long as appropriate technology and innovative techniques are adopted. Kashif’s work involves transformation innovation and entrepreneurship for solutions to global grand challenges. A rhetorician and provocateur with a bottomless pocketbook, Kashif has drawn upon his wide ranging and idiosyncratic academics and experiences to become perhaps one of the leading polymaths today, encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, as we move towards the Singularity.
A big fan of Hatsune Miku, Kashif is described as a visioneer. He is passionate about exponential technologies, future forecasting, entrepreneurial leadership and rapid business development through systems thinking and translational research. His last entrepreneurial venture, KurioCity, is being negotiated for acquisition in Silicon Valley.
One of his startups in progress for Kansas City includes Moonshot Mansion, which will be a game changer for the current innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem in Kansas City.
Adopting an anti-disciplinary approach, working with cutting edge technologies coupled with emerging markets solutions, has provided him with a unique understanding of the possibilities of future markets.
