It was our great pleasure to host Dr. Hans-Dieter Holtzmann and his international Delegation of the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit Leadership Academy and discuss the transformation of the financial industry with experts from Argentina und Urugauy.

It was particularly interesting to hear first-hand from Argentinians about the impact of high levels of public debt on private credit markets and access to investment. You can learn more about the work of the FNF in Latin America here.

Had the pleasure to talk to Florian Spichalsky from Business Punk about Neobanks, FinTechs and the role of regulations and regulators in times of global change and Trump.

You can read the full article and learn about the influence Trump should have on BaFin here:

What influence do decentralised forms of organisation have on the financing and organisation of science & research? I was able to support Lukas Weidener and others in answering this question last year. The result has now been published on Frontiers in Blockchain and can finally be read and discussed.

We used Mintzberg’s research as a guide, applied the Mintzberg configuration to decentralised organisations and were then able to apply the resulting decentralised science pyramid to VitaDAO in a case study.

In my opinion, the result is a successful overview that explains what is behind the DeSci movement.
