Honored to have received the Medal of Humanism from the Albanian Red Cross, in recognition of contributions to humanitarian principles.
This moment carries particular meaning as it took place in the context of the launch of the @quantum.balkan Initiative, during a day that brought together institutional leadership, international partners, and cross-sector engagement.
The initiative is developed under the leadership of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (@wcsiasc ) and its World Changers platform, in partnership with Vernewell Group Inc., the Ministry of Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Albania, and the Polytechnic University of Tirana as institutional host.
My sincere appreciation to the Albanian Red Cross for this distinction, and to Prof. Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli @gppandreoli and the IASC World Changers community for their leadership and vision in structuring this initiative.
Grateful as well for the presence and continued engagement of Minister Delina Ibrahimaj, who honored both the conference and the evening programme.
A special note to Rob Prior, whose artistic contribution added a unique dimension to the evening, connecting creativity and innovation in a powerful way.
This recognition is a reminder that beyond #technology, #strategy, and #systems, there remains a constant: the #responsibility to ensure that what we build continues to serve people, principles, and long-term impact.
Grateful for this moment.
