Most of the stuff here is in Danish, but occasionally I translate articles into English. There's a selection below.
I work for the Danish Universe Foundation, which focuses on innovation and learning. Specifically, I'm coordinating a project where companies from Denmark, China, Singapore and Korea exchange methods and experiences in innovation. We are currently writing a book with the findings, and it will be published in the spring of 2011.
You can read more about the project at the AsiaNBC website

My book Snapshots from the future was published in 2006. It's 7 short stories that describe life in about 25 years time - give or take a decade.
The book is published in Danish, but the text has been translated into English and the whole thing is posted right here For years I've wanted to create something like a cartoon, with a heavy emphasis on pictures and a narrative form to engage readers more emotionally. I've tried to keep it light and inviting - but the underlying facts are never the less a quite serious attempt to destill years of future studies into a coherent picture.
It can be read by kids at about 15 years, but it's not meant to be just for school. I would hope that anyone trying to make sense of the future could find some inspiration in it.
