( About )

I didn't come to robotics through technology. I came through people.

Alexander Pröll laughing with the service robot Pepper

I studied linguistics and communication science, have shaped digital transformation for more than 23 years and have dedicated over ten years to social and humanoid robotics. Along the way I learned that technology only convinces when people understand it, trust it and get to experience it.

“Technology as the universal opportunity to relieve our society.”

Chapter 01
Communication & digitalisation
In 2007 I founded Mindedge and spent ten years advising companies on IT, UX and digital processes. I trained managers at Bayer AG and, as a rhetoric trainer, ran workshops on presentation and leadership communication. Making complex things clear has been my craft ever since.
Chapter 02
Robotics you can touch
In 2017 I joined ENTRANCE Robotics and grew from Head of Marketing to COO to Managing Director. That same year I was on stage at main.IT with “Humanoid Robotics & AI” and the robot Pepper. I have been speaking as a keynote speaker ever since.
Chapter 03
Care technologies
As Head of Care Technologies at United Robotics Group, from 2023 I led and scaled service robotics in hospitals and care facilities. The closer I got to nursing, the clearer it became what this is really about: relief for people.
Chapter 04
Bringing robotics into society
Since 2025 I have been co-founder and CEO of 10X Robotics GmbH. As a systems integrator, we bring AI and service robotics to hospitals, care and health networks, for providers such as DRK, Diakonie and AWO. I am also a member of the Supervisory Board of LANG AG.

Why event organisers book me

01
Grounded in practice
More than ten years of implementation in hospitals, care facilities and companies. Your audience gets real cases, not slides full of forecasts.
02
A trained communicator
A degree in communication science and years as a rhetoric trainer: I translate complex technology into images and stories everyone understands.
03
Healthcare focus
As former Head of Care Technologies, I know hospitals, nursing and elderly care from the inside, where robotics can have its greatest impact on society.
04
The future, live
Robotics is something to experience. On request, I show it live, with social and humanoid robots on stage.

Short profile

Off stage, I am a member of the Rotary Club Bochum-Hellweg, focusing on social welfare and regional engagement. From 2017 to 2023 I was a member of the Wirtschaftsjunioren Dortmund Kreis Unna Hamm.
