The Power of Serendipity: Entrepreneurship, Learning Across Cultures and Voice AI
What happens when you stop treating your career as a straight line and stay open to people, places, and opportunities you could never have planned?
Fabian Dittrich is an entrepreneur, adventurer, freediver, and European Evangelist for Wispr Flow. His path has taken him from building companies and working across continents to setting a German freediving record at 100 meters and, now, driving a 52-year-old van through Europe meeting people along the way.
In this talk, Fabian shares what those experiences taught him about serendipity, curiosity, entrepreneurship, cross-cultural learning, and creating your own path. He’ll also explore how AI and voice-first technology are changing the way we work, learn, and build, and what opportunities that creates for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The session, organized together with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tobias Grünfelder from ISM, is designed especially for students of International Business and Entrepreneurship, with plenty of room for questions and discussion.
