Hi, I’m Laura M. Pana, a social innovator based in Vienna, Austria, with a passion for technology and digital transformation. As an advocate for Digital Humanism, I believe that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.

My work is grounded in the belief that in an increasingly complex world, we have a responsibility to drive positive change. My professional mission has always been to drive innovation that improves people's lives and fosters dynamic ecosystems. Over the years, I’ve spearheaded international projects across Europe and Africa, working in diverse sectors—public, private, start-up, non-profit and culture. From communications to project management, international cooperation, team leadership, founder of a non-profit organisation and late co-founder of a health tech start-up, I’ve taken on multiple roles to effect meaningful impact. A more detailed professional background is available on LinkedIn.

I pair well with brands, organisations, innovative enterprises and other changemakers that are socially conscious and aim to challenge the status quo.

I work across Europe and internationally in English, German, French, and Romanian.

Innovation comes with depth and responsibility

You need to pay attention to what is going on around you and in the world. Understand people, their cultural contexts, what they need and what is important to them. In other words, you need to care. Act responsibly for the services/products/ programmes you create and the impact they produce.
