Bastian Noffer's TECHCAST
In the course of 2020, I realized that the world (not only because of the pandemic) will change radically in the next few years, and not only in the technology sector. Now that the year 2021 is slowly getting going, I want to use my experience and insights in business, education and of course technology to give something back to the great technology online community. Perhaps my unique perspective will help some of you chart the right course in today’s rapidly changing world.
