🌍 On February 28, 2025, I had the privilege of speaking at a side event during the 58th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, presenting on Due Diligence in Cross-Border Investment: Preventing Corruption and Protecting Human Rights.

💡 Key Takeaways from My Presentation:
✔ Ethical investment is not only a legal obligation but a cornerstone of global stability.
✔ Strengthening due diligence is critical to preventing corruption, human rights violations, and environmental harm.
✔ Emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and data analytics can enhance transparency and accountability in investment practices.
✔ Responsible investment plays a crucial role in mitigating risks such as terrorism financing and illicit financial flows.
✔ Global cooperation and capacity building are essential to aligning investments with human rights and sustainability standards.

Ensuring responsible investment is a shared responsibility among investors, governments, and international organizations. By fostering transparency, ethical governance, and accountability, we can harness investment as a powerful driver of sustainable progress and stability.

📌 Grateful to the UN Human Rights Council and partner organizations for the opportunity to contribute to this critical dialogue. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and advancing meaningful impact.

On April 11-12, 2024 over 1500 participants from more than 100 countries took part in the 3rd International Cooperation Forum Switzerland (IC Forum) in Basel (Messe Basel).
It was an honor for me to represent the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, Swiss Institute for Entrepreneurship (SIFE) with the topic of “Anti-corruption as a main pillar of peace and security” in the IC Forum and Marketplace. I would like to gratitude Eleanor Jehan for following me in this event.
One of the most important pillars for building a peaceful and secure society is the prevention of corruption. The Anti-Corruption Team of the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons provides applied corruption prevention methods based on education (capacity building) and artificial intelligence.
I highly appreciate the Forum host, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) for providing us with such an opportunity.

On March 26-27, 2024, I and my colleague Christian Hauser were honored to participate in the 2024 Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum (OECD - OCDE Conference Centre, Paris) as a delegate of the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, Swiss Institute for Entrepreneurship (SIFE).
During the Forum we had several positive and constructive discussions with representatives of public institutions, interalia, head of the National Agency of Corruption Prevention of Ukraine (NACP), Viktor Pavlushchyk concerning corruption prevention via executive education (capacity building) and artificial intelligence.
The Forum gathered leaders from around the world to share new thinking, insights, and evidence, and to explore how anti-corruption policies and integrity frameworks can enhance our ability to respond to the future challenges our democracies face. It also marked the 25th Anniversary of the Anti-Bribery Convention, a cornerstone in the global fight against corruption, and a catalyst for policy change.
