Julian Jagtenberg is an entrepreneur, AI and robotics expert, and the CEO & co-founder of Somnox — the Dutch health brand that became globally known for creating the world’s first sleep robot: a science-backed “smart companion” that helps people relax faster through breathing guidance and biofeedback.
Julian studied Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft and specialized in biorobotics and human-centered technology. From this technical foundation, he built Somnox into an international brand that helps thousands of people deal with stress, restlessness, and sleep — demonstrating how technology can become not only smarter, but also more human.
In his keynotes, Julian takes audiences behind the reality of innovation: from idea to product, from prototypes to crowdfunding, from hype to scalability. He speaks at the intersection of entrepreneurship, AI, robotics, and the future of healthcare, and has a unique ability to make complex technology understandable, relevant, and inspiring.
Julian is also a strong moderator for tech and innovation events: energetic, sharp in content, and with the right balance between depth and flow. His style is human, down-to-earth, and future-oriented — always with a clear translation into what organizations can already start doing today.
