The Big Challenges of our time
Need Multi-Stakeholder Alliances
That’s why for the last 10+ years, I’ve been
building movements: mobilizing 270+ organizations from ministries and corporates, startups and activists to upskill Germany’s labor market for a net-zero future.
creating social innovations: like a global payment infrastructure to increase garment workers wages in 80+ countries, e.g. Vietnam, Pakistan, Kenya.
lobbying for good: from safe AI development and slashing bureaucracy to modern labor migration laws, both in Germany and the European Parliament.
How do we use the power of AI for good?
How do we accelerate our transition into a net-zero economy?
