FutureTravel Summit Speaker: Oliver Kaesermann, Head of Launchpad Europe at Amadeus

We’re excited to welcome Oliver Kaesermann, Head of Launchpad Europe at Amadeus, to the FutureTravel Summit 2025.

Oliver is a seasoned leader in travel tech, with over a decade of experience at Amadeus. Since joining the company in 2010, he has worked closely with OTAs and tour operators across Europe, particularly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Today, he leads Amadeus’ Launchpad program for Europe, helping startups to grow their business with Amadeus solutions, and connecting startups with Amadeus teams and customers to drive meaningful collaboration and innovation in travel.

Based in Zurich, Oliver brings a unique perspective that bridges the corporate and startup worlds. What drives his work is the belief that partnerships (when built with vision and trust) can spark real change across the travel industry.

At the FutureTravel Summit, Oliver will join a panel on corporate-startup collaboration, exploring what it truly takes for partnerships to move beyond pilots and press releases toward lasting impact. Expect a nice conversation on alignment, trust, and how innovation happens when both sides bring their strengths to the table. Join us in Barcelona on October 30 to hear it live!
