Steffen Robbi

DI Dr Steffen Robbi is a keynote speaker, founder and managing director of the innovation lab Digital Findet Stadt (DFS), a platform that drives digital innovation in the construction and property sectors across the entire life cycle (planning, building and operation). He is described, amongst other things , as an internationally sought-after keynote speaker, seminar leader and university lecturer, and is known for presenting complex transformation topics in a way that creates excitement, shifts perspectives and gets the audience ‘on board’: without buzzwords, but with a clear thread running through his talk and powerful imagery.

On stage, he combines energy, storytelling and motivation with what many decision-makers really need: substance. Because, when the audience or the format demands it, Robbi delves into the subject in a targeted and in-depth manner: from machine learning and deep learning, through natural language processing and computer vision, to automation, data science and AI ethics. In doing so, he creates genuine added value: he explains what is technically feasible today, where typical fallacies lie, how to measure impact, and which organisational prerequisites (data infrastructure, processes, skills, governance) determine success or stagnation.

His perspective is shaped by several years’ work at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in the field of Digital Building Technologies (including as a business manager and project manager) and by his scientific and technical background. A central theme runs through his work: digital transformation must be measurable – in terms of productivity, quality, cost efficiency and resource efficiency – whilst also being implemented responsibly.

Whether it’s a keynote speech, a short presentation or a deep-dive session, Robbi strikes the perfect balance between stage presence and depth of detail, providing his audience not only with inspiration but also with concrete food for thought that sticks with them and sparks discussion.
