About Richard van Hooijdonk
Richard van Hooijdonk is a highly sought-after international futurist, trendwatcher, and keynote speaker who guides organizations into the world of tomorrow. Since 2014, he has delivered over 3,000 keynotes in more than 30 countries, inspiring over 600,000 people worldwide. His presentations are energetic, visually engaging, and always future-focused.
As CEO of the Future Intelligence Agency Trendforce.one, he leads an international research team specializing in emerging and disruptive technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, quantum computing, biotech, and blockchain. Richard has authored over 2,000 articles, 60+ white papers, and several books on the impact of technology on work, life, and society.
Audiences have seen enough generic stories – now they want talks tailored to their industries, departments, and areas of work. I focus on the key shifts, opportunities, and disruptions shaping every sector and professional domain. Leaders want to know what’s happening – and what’s next – in their world. That’s where I come in.
His strength lies in translating complex technologies into accessible insights, combining them with current trends and strategic implications. He not only shows what’s coming but also how to respond.
Richard is available for industry-specific talks (e.g. healthcare, education, government, finance, retail, construction, and agriculture) as well as broader keynotes on leadership, trends, work, and innovation.

"It is with great pride and honor that I acknowledge the expertise of Angélique Koopmans as a presenter.
I was recently in Amsterdam and the group of training professionals that I worked with needed some expertise on how to 'look' the part of a Professional Trainer. The local franchisee knew of Ms. Koopmans and invited her to speak with our group. She was nothing less than spectacular! Her relaxed demeanor and poise in front of our group made it easy to connect with her and the subject matter.
Even more importantly, she responded to challenging questions that not only answered the inquiries but she did so by responding to the entire group. This professional act alone set her apart from many of the trainers that I have been associated with for the past 25 years.
Another fact regarding Angelique was her professional attire that commanded respect. Many people 'talk' about looking the part, Angéelique does in fact, look the part of a polished, smooth, and successful professional speaker.
Any organization that wishes to impress their associates with a powerful message would be well advised to hire Angéelique Koopmans as their speaker."
