Building G.O.A.T. brands for Gen Alpha
Joeri Van den Bergh will share new insights from a global study on Gen Alpha, the newest generation set to influence the future. Their economic footprint is projected to exceed €5.2 trillion, with spending power growing three times faster than any other generation by 2030. Raised by Millennial parents and immersed in a digital-first world, Gen Alpha is already influencing household decisions and shaping cultural trends. What do they dream of in a world shaped by smart technology, climate challenges, and shifting ideas about fairness and identity? What fears do they carry and what ambitions drive them to make a difference - even as kids?
Joeri’s keynote will share his findings and show how to build G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) brands that resonate with this powerful generation.
