The Matrix Conference 2026

Marco Holz

I have been discussing and designing IT infrastructures in the public sector for several years now, both from a civic tech/FOSS perspective as well as within the public administration at the German Federal IT Cooperation (FITKO).

When it comes to the design of modern IT infrastructures, my focus is on privacy- and security-by-design principles and the social impact of technology design. Cryptography and openness are our friends on the way to achieving these goals.
