Keynotes, panels and fireside chats, in German or English. On money, on Europe, and on building what's missing.

1. 01Digital sovereignty through founding.Europe has bureaucracy in abundance and founders in short supply. What it lacks in digital infrastructure (payments, cloud, AI, chips) won't come from regulation. It comes from people who start building, and that no longer only happens in Berlin or Silicon Valley.
2. 02Money that moves like information.Why a business payment abroad still takes days and costs several percent, and how stablecoin settlement turns that into seconds, under one percent, inside the rules banks and regulators already know.
3. 03Trust is the product.From a purchasing problem at a drone company to a U.S.-registered financial institution: why compliance comes first when you move other people's money, and how a small team gets there.
