Skills, hiring and upskilling in a GenAI boom

We’re excited to welcome Prof. Dr. Dr. Tony Gorschek as a speaker at TechHeads 2026. Tony is a Professor of Software Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology and a senior guest researcher at Fortiss (Germany). With extensive industry experience as a CTO, consultant, engineer, chief architect, and product manager, he bridges cutting-edge research with the realities of building software-intensive products and services.

In his session, Tony will share his perspective on the future skills landscape for engineers. What changes when GenAI becomes part of everyday engineering? What are the biggest challenges and blind spots for companies and education, and what practical steps can we take to avoid falling behind?
