Tom Koulopoulos
Chairman and Founder
Delphi Group United States of America
Wednesday 14/10/2026 09:20-10:00 Plenary Hall A1 Keynote

Tom Koulopoulos is Chairman and Founder of the Delphi Group, a Boston-based think tank he has led for more than 35 years. He is also the founding partner of Acrovantage Ventures, investing in early-stage technology companies shaping the future of work, healthcare, and enterprise innovation. Tom’s thinking has been praised by some of the most influential voices in modern management.

An author of fifteen books, inventor with multiple patents, and longtime Inc.com columnist, Tom brings more than four decades of firsthand experience at the intersection of technology, business, and human behaviour. His latest book Gigatrends looks at the six tech trends that are shaping the future of how we live, work, and compete. His forthcoming book The Mirror: Finding Meaning and Purpose in the Age of AI is an examination of what intelligent systems reveal about leadership, values and ourselves.

He has served as Executive Director of the Babson College Center for Business Innovation, Director of the Dell Innovation Lab, and as a professor at Boston University - giving him a rare ability to translate complex technical realities into strategic insight that resonates equally with engineers, operators, and CEOs.

The next 50 years: trust, identity, and the future we’re about to create
What does it take to secure trust in a world where identity is fluid, currency is becoming invisible, and technology is advancing faster than our ability to govern it? In this opening keynote, Tom Koulopoulos will take us on a fast-paced, eye-opening journey from 1976 to 2026 - a fifty-year arc defined by exponential innovation, shifting power structures, and the quiet reinvention of how we establish trust at scale. From the birth of digital systems to the rise of AI and synthetic identity, the forces reshaping our world are the same ones redefining the very foundations of currency and identity. But this isn’t a history lesson. It’s a wake-up call. Drawing powerful connections between past inflection points and what lies ahead, Tom will challenge assumptions about security, authenticity, and control in a world where the line between physical and digital has all but disappeared. What does ‘identity’ mean when it can be generated, cloned, or decentralised? What happens to currency when trust shifts from institutions to algorithms? And most importantly, who decides? With his signature clarity, energy, humour, and provocative insight, Tom will set the tone for the conference by reframing the next 50 years not as a continuation of the past, but as a fundamental socio-economic reset. His message is simple and powerful: AI may be able to build the future, but we are the ones who must decide what kind of future to build.

Thursday 15/10/2026 09:30-10:45 Session 2 __ Identity documents: a deep dive into the latest designs and innovations Identity Audi 15 Chair

After earning a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, and law from Hogeschool InHolland, Marsel was trained as an expert-level document specialist by The Royal Marechaussee in the Netherlands. He began his career with the department of the municipality of Amsterdam responsible for the initial registration of new citizens, primarily from abroad.

He later joined the Team Identity Fraud (TIF), a collaboration between the municipality of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam police aimed at combating and preventing identity fraud in the city. The team provides training, advice, and conducts research on identity fraud. The team's formation was triggered by a significant event on October 4, 1994, when an EL AL Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashed into two apartment buildings in Amsterdam Bijlmermeer. In the aftermath, the city government called for survivors to come forward for registration. The unexpectedly high number of undocumented individuals seeking registration led to the creation of TIF.
