About the moderator: 

*Daphne Muller* Manager alliances, ecosystem & support at Nextcloud. Daphne is also known for her TEDx talk on how a future with privacy could become reality.

Less collection of personal data will bring more competition, more innovation and more progress in the market. Daphne Muller is a scientist working for Nextcloud, a company in Germany that produces alternative privacy-friendly software to products like Google Workplace and Microsoft Office. They’re building the Microsoft of the future. She studied Industrial Design at TU Eindhoven and graduated on the subject of privacy in IoT-products with very high marks, but with a lot of controversy among her colleagues who were somewhat biased towards big-tech. 

In her thesis, published at two major a-level computer science conferences, she stated that all the data collection proposed throughout the IT-world is unnecessary, thereby breaking a taboo among IT-experts.
