Jean-Christophe Bonis

As a professional futurist, entrepreneur, TED speaker, influencer, writer, technology enthusiast, and tireless globetrotter, Jean-Christophe is recognized among the most influential French personalities in artificial intelligence worldwide. For nearly 20 years, he has provided expert insights into all digital innovations. AI, biotechnology, robotics, nanotechnology—he studies their global uses and analyzes their impact on the behavior of citizens, organizations, and consumers for the decades to come.

After working for 8 years as a financial analyst for investment funds, he decided to leave everything behind to give his life new meaning. He then traveled across 5 continents to meet different cultures affected by today’s digital challenges. As a privileged witness to the transformations of our time, he has since sought to uncover the gigantic challenges our species is just beginning to face.

Recognized in 2019 as one of the most influential French experts in AI worldwide, he has dedicated over a decade to exploring how emerging technologies can transform societies, businesses, and the way people live.

In March 2022, following Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Jean-Christophe founded the charitable Foundation Team4UA, a humanitarian organization created to support emergency response and long-term reconstruction in Ukraine through concrete actions, partnerships, and innovation.

In May 2022, he launched the initiative to 3D print a school building in Lviv, the first school in Ukraine constructed using 3D construction technologies.

Today, the charitable Foundation Team4UA focuses on the intersection of humanitarian response and technology, implementing large-scale programs throughout Ukraine. It manages substantial annual budgets exceeding $32 million, supported by donors, including funding obtained through the humanitarian mechanisms of the United Nations. This level of support has positioned Team4UA as the largest national NGO funded by the UN in 2026.
