Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
Despite the fact that 95% of industries are composed of SMEs, there is a significant underrepresentation of this organisation's viewpoint on standards development. I am the liaison officer of the Small Business Standards in all the TCs at ISO. I contribute to giving a voice to European SMEs in standardisation at the European and international levels. In addition, to provide comments in the meetings I promote the use of the compatibility test of the SBS and collaborate in the workshops to facilitate the mutual understanding among the industry and the SDOs.
These standardisation efforts support the achievement of the objectives of the Green Deal and the SDGs, as well as the political objectives of the European Commission and support for the New European Standardization Strategy. As a convenor position of a key working group at the ISO level, I am able to promote the European values in standards development. In addition, this action promotes the improvement in the efficiency of public services with the use of reliable applications and technologies that contribute to sustainable development.

- Distributed Ledger Governance Framework for Managing Agent AI Trustworthiness
Artificial Intelligence
ISO/TC 307 WG5 standards are expected to support EU digital policy objectives, particularly the ICT Standardization Rolling Plan, AI Act, European Digital Identity Framework and cybersecurity policies. By addressing AI agent trustworthiness from a DLT governance perspective, the work can improve policy coherence, avoid overlapping standards and support interoperable, auditable digital services.
For European SMEs, this means lower compliance costs, clearer governance requirements, easier integration into cross-border value chains and reduced barriers to adopting AI–DLT solutions. Common governance frameworks could also facilitate regulatory alignment, strengthen customer trust and accelerate innovation in sectors such as finance, digital identity and supply chains.
In the longer term, these standards could support Europe's digital sovereignty, SME competitiveness and the development of a more integrated European Digital Single Market.
