Lawyer specialized in refuge and migration Ángel Peña has been deeply involved in social movements since his student years, which led him to hold important roles, such as being a board member of the Youth Council of Euskadi, where he was responsible for Conscientious Objection and International Relations. Throughout his career, he has worked with organizations like CEAR, Oxfam, and Paz y Tercer Mundo (Mundubat), with work experience in Mozambique, Madrid, Oxford, and Bilbao. In 1999, he founded a social services company, which has allowed him to assess and evaluate numerous projects, providing him with invaluable learning experiences. His career has been marked by his participation in development cooperation projects with NGOs, public administrations, and companies across four continents. These experiences have given him the opportunity to closely understand the realities of vulnerable people in various contexts, something that has been essential to his personal and professional growth, motivating him every day to work for a more just and fair world. Currently, he leads a foundation dedicated to supporting migrants and promoting international cooperation projects. He is also certified as an ESG Advisor by EFPA and is in the process of becoming certified as an Expert in Sustainability and Impact (ESI). He is passionate about impact investment and constantly seeks to innovate and scale the projects he works on. His doctoral thesis focuses on the use of new technologies in the context of asylum, which has led him to train in Blockchain programming and Machine Learning. These tools allow him to explore new ways to improve the processes of international protection and assistance to refugees, seeking innovative and more efficient solutions in his work. Through his research, Ángel aims to bring a renewed perspective on how technology can be a key ally in the field of human rights and migration. https://www.linkedin.com/in/angel1970
