It's a Fachhochschule. And yeah that lecture was very unusual it felt like the insane rablings of a techno evangelist who jumped on every hype train in the last 20 years. He said the most important technologies are IoT, Blockchain and AI

This sounds like the Fachhochschule hired some guest lecturer from the world of employment (since it is a goal of Fachhochschulen to also give the students a perspective from work environment in their lectures, this sometimes happens).

Unluckily the people responsible to hire a guest lecturer fell for a windbag. :-(
