Why you should ride into the unknown | Yngvar Ugland | TEDxArendal

What do motorcycles, the Moon landing and modern technology have in common? They all began with people willing to ride into the unknown, long before the path was clear. This talk introduces a practical Moonshot framework that helps us navigate uncertainty and build the future we actually want. Yngvar Ugland is a bold innovator who blends analytical depth with creative flair. As head of DNB’s NewTechLab and Innovation & Science Fellow, he pushes boundaries through tech, curiosity, and collaboration. With a background in mathematics and global leadership — and a twist as a stand-up comedian — he turns complex ideas into inspiring stories.He’s currently pursuing an Industry PhD in Artificial Intelligence and has served as Industry Professor II at NHH. In 2023, he was nominated “Nordic AI Influencer of the Year,” and in 2024, named “Nordic AI Professional of the Year” and featured on the cover of the Top 100 Nordics in AI magazine.Yngvar is also the author of several books, most recently The Moonshots Method — a guide to daring thinking and doing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
