Dimitris Dimitriadis, Futurist & CIO of TheFutureCats, was a keynote speaker at Daikin’s recent summit, the Blue Dealer Event held at Costa Navarino, an event marking 20 years of Daikin’s presence in the Greek market. The event highlighted the transformative role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of work, with a core message centered on the synergy between AI, mindfulness, and the augmentation of human capabilities.

In his keynote, Dimitris emphasized that AI should not be seen merely as a tool for automation but as a partner in enhancing human potential. He explored how businesses can harness AI in a conscious, intentional way focusing not just on efficiency, but on meaningful ethical innovation that uplifts people.

Daikin’s forward-thinking setup featured a dedicated hi-tech corner where prototypes and tools showcased how emerging technologies are already shaping the company’s evolution. The event also explored major Mega Trends shaping the HVAC and manufacturing sectors, including sustainability, innovative infrastructure, and the future of customer experience.

But the most powerful element of the day was the focus on inspiration: how technology, when aligned with purpose, can empower employees to lead, adapt, and grow. Through storytelling, trend analysis, and strategic foresight, Dimitris challenged the audience to see AI not as a threat—but as an invitation to evolve.
