THE POST-INDUSTRIAL FORUM: FOR VISIONARY LEADERS BUILDING THE FUTURE
A private community for leaders leveraging AI and decentralization to build and transform trillion-dollar industries.
A new civilization is emerging
A post-industrial civilization is emerging, driven by Al, decentralization, and exponential technologies.
We need visionary leaders to shape what comes next:
The AI Explosion
Exponential progress of Al is accelerating science, technology, and creativity. Advanced Al capabilities are now universally available and this changes everything, especially how we view transformations.
Rapid Decentralization
Ubiquitous high-speed connectivity and ever-more powerful computing is pushing intelligence, assets, manufacturing, and intelligence to the edge. Firms and supply chains are being reshaped.
Human Fulfillment
Extended lifespans, material abundance, and universal access to personalized education will combine with our mastery of matter to liberate human creativity and potential at an unprecedented scale.
Autonomous Organizations
Firms are flatting, evolving faster and becoming Al-native. They may be assembled just-in-time and last seconds, or persist for decades. Al Agents will manage strategy, governance, R&D, and operations, alongside humans where necessary.
Industries Reimagined
Legacy sectors are being restructured, and new industries are rapidly emerging. Barriers between sectors and industries are dissolving, and Al agents will manage supply chains.

As a systems engineer by background, I have found the Post Industrial Forum to be very helpful in giving me insights from leading experts into the impacts that AI and other technologies will have in the coming years. I would encourage others to join and discover the benefits for themselves.
The Post-Industrial Institute always brings together a uniquely sophisticated ensemble of senior leaders and industry experts. It has been my pleasure to present our research and experiences at Hitachi on more than one occasion.
I always learn a lot from the rich discussions. It’s all substance, all day.
I had the great pleasure of attending and speaking at the Post-Industrial Summit in 2024. Unlike other conferences, where you get a lot of vague ideas, I walked away with tangible ideas and insights that I could put into action.
“The Post-Industrial Institute delivers terrific content that is timely. In a world that moves far faster than ever, they help us to slow down and think deeply about impact of technology on organizations and humanity.”
I became interested in the Post-Industrial Institute after listening to a talk about how exponential technologies could lead to decentralization in legacy industries. That talk was given by the Institute’s founder Frode Odegard, who impressed me with his original thinking. That was several years ago. AI adds to the potential and range of that decentralization. The Post-Industrial Forum is where you can hear the stories and meet the people dealing with these changes now.
Attending events by the Post‑Industrial Institute has been an incredibly valuable experience. The community brings together thoughtful, forward-looking leaders exploring the frontier of AI agents and the emerging AI-driven economy.
I leave each gathering with fresh insights, meaningful connections, and a deeper understanding of how autonomous systems are reshaping the future of enterprise and work.
