Vorstellungskraft X

Why Vorstellungskraft X?

How can we shape a different future if we are not able to imagine it? Against the backdrop of massive societal and economic transformation processes, imagination becomes an indispensable resource to address the changes that will be necessary in the next 20 years. The good news is that imagination is a muscle that we can train. For this purpose, we have developed programs that bring together companies and artists. Because artists have always been specialists in imagination, creativity, and envisioning the future.


Who are we?

Vorstellungskraft X is led by Prof. Dr. Friedrich von Borries, Professor at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg, Alexander Doudkin, interdisciplinary start-up and non-profit entrepreneur from Berlin, Dr. Torsten Fremer, board member of the agency group Units United and managing director of the agency Klubhaus in Cologne and, Ralph Linde, President of the Software School 42 Wolfsburg/Berlin and from 2006-2024 director of the Volkswagen Group Academy. The initiators combine artistic creativity with entrepreneurial curiosity. Well-known and successful artists (literature, music, visual arts, film) from around the world are involved in the programs of Vorstellungskraft X.
