Hello. I am a social entrepreneur. I develop concepts to stimulate dialogue, cooperation and sustainable development. Basis of all my work is openness (free access, transparency).

Developed concepts: United Humans - investigation of interests and wishes of people as basis for (inter)national dialogue (this concept moves on where yhe work and mandate of the United Nations stops), Trade Label - ethical product label and market verification system, Trade Standard - self learning model for a standard for sustainable development, etc. etc.

At the moment I am building up a new company that offer ICT services to support new ways of citizen participation in public projects and inquiry in organisations (an important step towards the development of United Humans).

Vision: Democracy, the free market economy and Internet - the most valued and successful social structures in the world - are all open systems. Problems in these open systems are caused by lack of openness (of information) as backroom politics, fraud, corruption, bureaucracy and withhold or manipulation of information.
