Diesmal sprechen Lawyers on Fire miteinander: Carsten unterhält sich mit Jochen über die Innovationsförderung, die sein Unternehmen Privacy Solutions für die Datenschutzsoftware Privacy Suite erhalten hat.

Hören Sie zu für eine neue Perspektive auf den Datenschutz - und warum richtig verstandener Datenschutz für den langfristigen Erfolg von Unternehmen wichtig ist.
Today’s episode is the last of three interviews we did during our tour to Estonia at the end of last year. This now seems like another world with free air travel and moving around easily.
We are very grateful to Risto Hübner, founder of Nordx Legal, who met with us and shared his inside knowledge about the Estonian legal tech scene and also allowed us to share his start-up map with our listeners. Risto is a business-minded technology, data privacy & IP attorney with more than 15 years of professional experience in law and extensive sector-specific knowledge of the ICT industry. Risto has worked as the general counsel at Nortal, one of the largest tech companies in the Baltics, carrying out operations globally. He is especially passionate about startups, data protection, privacy law, cybersecurity and new technologies. Risto is also a visiting lecturer in IT Law at the University of Tartu, mentor to startups at Startup Wise Guys accelerator and the founder and organizer of the Estonian chapter of Legal Hackers.
In the second part of our interview with Kaspar he shares some behind-the-scenes insights and learnings from his journey of e-Residency, which may well be one of the most important government experiments in the 21st century. The program started nearly 20 years ago after Estonia decided to become a fully digital society and to issue a digital identity to every resident. From there, it went on to welcome foreign citizens to Estonia’s digital global village.
Kaspar Korjus was the Managing Director of e-Residency in the Government of Estonia. Kaspar started to run the program at the age of 26 years and today moved on to his next venture Pactum which we discussed with him in the recent LOF podcast. Kaspar is also listed as #1 on the Forbes Estonia’s 30 Under 30 in Technology and Finance list. Kaspar is fascinated by the idea of disrupting the governments to become service providers like any other company. He rarely gives interviews so we are absolutely grateful he took time to meet us.
Lawyers on Fire spoke with Kaspar Korjus in Tallinn/Estonia, a truly inspiring and thriving startup hub. Inspiring indeed was the discussion with Kaspar as well which is why we split it into two parts. Kaspar has been the most citied Estonian by global press in 2017 and 2018. He is listed by Forbes Estonia `30 under 30´ people as #1 in Technology and Finance and was elected by US CTO Megan Smith as one of the 20 global digital leaders. In 2019 Kaspar was nominated as JCI 10 Most Outstanding Young Persons of the World. Furthermore, Kaspar was awarded the Order of Orange-Nassau by the King of the Netherlands, His Majesty Willem-Alexander, in recognition of his notable contributions for the betterment of societies worldwide, making him one of the youngest knights you could ever encounter.
If that’s not enough, he has recently co-founded Pactum. Pactum helps companies to improve every contract they have ever signed by automatically negotiating contracts on a massive scale. The system learns to understand the value of different contract terms and uses AI to perform high-quality and considerate negotiations that reach a win-win outcome.
The second part of the interview is about Kaspar’s role in transforming both the public and private sector globally. As founding Managing Director of Estonian e-Residency (2014-2019), Kaspar is helping governments worldwide to become truly digital and borderless.
