As digital transformation fundamentally modifies our social structures, democratic processes will not remain unchanged: from public spending to the very structure of our representational system, Dr. Costa Vayenas gave us the great pleasure of joining us for an evening in the staatslabor to share the results of his latest research and the way in which technology has the potential to transfer more power to the citizens.

Dr. Costa Vayenas has worked as an analyst for financial institutions in London, New York and Zurich in various functions, including as Head of Research and as Head of Credit for the emerging markets at UBS. He has published extensively and also lectured on international finance at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
