Nikolas Badminton is the Chief Futurist for the Futurist Think Tank at futurist.com, a Fellow of The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (The RSA), and collaborates with a wide range of clients from trillion-dollar companies to startups. His goal is to challenge conventional thinking, awaken curiosity, and help envision transformative futures.

His extensive work spans various sectors, aiming to provide strategic foresight and envision equitable and prosperous futures for all.

Badminton is highly recognized in media for his insights on future trends. He has contributed as an advisor to the ‘Age of AI’ series with Robert Downey Jr. and will be featured in the upcoming series ‘The Secrets of Big Data’ on Discovery. Regular appearances on SIRIUSXM, and CTV’s Future Friday further complement his media presence. His influential research has been acknowledged by major publications such as the BBC, VICE, The Atlantic, Fast Company, Techcrunch, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Forbes, and more. Additionally, he produces and interviews thought leaders on the Exponential Minds Podcast.

In 2023, Badminton released "Facing Our Futures," which quickly became a number one bestseller and was selected as JP Morgan’s “Next Gen Pick” for their 24th Annual Summer Reading List. The book also appeared in the Next Big Idea Club Top-50 Business Books of 2023 and was shortlisted for The Business Book Awards 2024. This publication builds on his earlier work, providing executives and organizations with advanced tools for futures design, helping them to create bolder visions, anticipate unforeseen risks, and enhance strategic planning. His insights are also featured in "The Future Starts Now," both published by Bloomsbury Business.
