Futurism
Tiago Mattos is one of the most important futurists in Brazil. He collaborates with Singularity University and teaches at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Trans-disciplinary Innovation Program), being the one in charge of the Futurism track. His talks/lectures about the future have been watched by international audiences in South America, Central America, North America, Europe, Mid-East and Oceania.

His futurism ideas started to get recognition in 2012, when he was selected, among 80 globally participants, for the GSP12 at the Singularity University, where he graduated as a futurist. This project, a partnership between NASA and Google, takes place at the NASA Research Park in Mountain View, California. The selection criteria in order to be eligible for the Singularity GSP is having, from the school’s point of view, the ability to impact one billion people in ten years' time. After being chosen the class speaker, his career achiements were mentioned by Forbes.
In 2014, he spent a few days at MIT studying with Professor Thomas W. Malone, author of "The Future of Work".
In 2015, Tiago was select to attend another world renowned project: the first edition of TIP (Trans-disciplinary Innovation Program), a futurism program held by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Among its teachers and speakers, TIP gathered worldwide experts. It allowed participants to interact with fourteen Nobel Laureates and one Fields Medal Winner.
After TIP, he spent some time in Palo Alto studying Foresight Techniques at The Institute for the Future.
In the past few years, Tiago has invested his energy in creating new theories about the future of work and future of education/learning.
First years
Tiago Mattos graduated in Communications at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In 2001, he was granted a scholarship at the Miami Ad School, in the United States.
In 2005, he was elected for the Young Lions and took part, along with fifteen other professionals, in the delegation of young advertisers that participated in the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
In 2006, he was named the ARP Copywriter of the Year.
In the following year, he co-founded Perestroika, a school for creative activities. The company, which was initially focused on communication courses, expanded its activities to include several areas, such as innovation, technology, design, entrepreneurship, among others. It also created its own methodology, that is now open source.
Between 2012 and 2014, it started initiatives in five other cities in Brazil, as well as its first international project, in San Francisco, California. In 2015, the school launched Neotribes – its second international venture. In 2016, Neotribes was held in Germany.
Entrepreneurship
As a serial entrepreneur, Tiago has been part of teams that have founded several projects. He is still a partner of some of them – like Perestroika (school of creative activities which include) and Area51 (an entrepreneurial ecossystem). He was also present in the beginning of initiatives in which he no longer takes part such as Mission Control (the first open laboratory for data analysis in Brazil). Others initiatives no longer exist – such as Pipa (a business accelerator with high positive impact and low environmental impact).
Talks
In 2010, Tiago was the opening speaker of TEDx Porto Alegre. Since then, he has been invited to speak about several topics at conferences and Fortune 500 corporate events.
His presentation on exponential technologies (a "Blindfolded ignite", a lecture he gave while blindfolded, defending hug as a technology), generated media repercussion.
Books
His first book, VLEF ("Vai lá e faz", or "Go Do It"), is an entrepreneurship manifesto and brings reflections about how to create a company in the 21st Century. It was 100% made independently and in a decentralised mindset. The project was backed by a crowdfunding website and held a record in Catarse, the biggest crowdfunding platform in Brazil, for some months.
In 2014, Perestroika was among the projects selected to be in the book Empreendedorismo Criativo (Creative Entrepreneurship), which gathers nine Brazilian companies that belong to the New Economics.
Media
His initiatives have been mentioned by international media, such as Forbes and Fast Company. In Brazil, Tiago Mattos appeared on the cover of Você S/A Sul.
