Expert Bio

Erick Thürmer is the CEO of Thürmer Tools and Founder of TwentySeven, a visionary business leader who transformed his great-grandfather's 125-year-old traditional tool company into an award-winning, purpose-driven, and digitally innovative enterprise. Through his transformational leadership, he has taken Thürmer Tools from a conventional manufacturing business to a cutting-edge 3D technology company, relocating production from China back to Denmark with a focus on local, sustainable, on-demand manufacturing. Under his leadership, Thürmer Tools has been recognized as a leading digital company in Denmark, received €1.6 million in funding to develop a patented 3D business model, joined the European Horizon Framework Programme, and won the SAP ThinkX Award — all while tripling turnover in its traditional business. In 2020, Erick published the bestselling book "The Spiritual CEO – Thürmer in 3D," sharing his inspiring business journey and empowering leadership philosophy. A graduate and faculty member of Singularity University, he is deeply committed to exploring emerging technologies and applying them to solve global challenges. He serves as an Advisory Board Member of the Disruption Taskforce under Denmark's Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, is an appointed member of The Disruption Council, and holds a seat as a substitute for the Danish Parliament. With over 20 years of experience in business transformation, international trade, industrial development, and leadership evolution, Erick is a sought-after keynote speaker, trusted advisor to executives and organizations, and a frequent presence in Danish media, celebrated as a transformative leadership expert and champion of SMEs and sustainable local production.
