Peter Aichner

Crystal Design GmbH

Head of Innovation

Born in 1967 and based in Brixen/South Tyrol, I am a technologist with a humanist mindset and a background in architecture. For decades, I have developed digital solutions for the furniture industry and engaged in various eco-social initiatives. My passion is to use free software as a bridging technology—connecting people, empowering communities, and supporting sustainable change. I believe open digital tools and community-driven platforms are essential for inclusive collaboration, democratic innovation, and tangible sustainability. With projects like “Knowledge Scout” and “Agent of Connectedness”, I invite others to co-create a future rooted in solidarity, care, and shared responsibility.
