At the 2025 WU Tax Law Technology Conference in Vienna, Prof. Dr. Heribert M. Anzinger was part of the first panel, where he discussed the topic of “Defining Standardization in Taxation” together with Prof. Dr. Marina Luketina (FH Upper Austria, AT) and Prof. Dr. Irma Mosquera Valderrama (Leiden University, NL) to discuss the topic of “Defining Standardization in Taxation,” led and thoughtfully moderated by the conference organizer, Prof. Dr. Robert Risse (Vienna University of Economics and Business, AT). The OECD has identified standardization as one of the most important drivers for improving tax administration. The panel discussion provided the basis for in-depth discussions on this important topic and its role in reducing bureaucratic burdens. During the morning sessions, conference participants not only examined critical legal aspects of tax standardization, but also learned a great deal about data architectures (from data lakes to data lakehouses) from Steffen Vierkorn (QUNIS GmbH). The conference program can be found here.
Dr. Ulli Spankowski, CDO/CHRO at the Stuttgart Stock Exchange Group, gave a fascinating presentation highlighting the importance of intelligent regulation for the development of blockchain technology in the financial sector. Particularly valuable was the perspective that regulation brings not only challenges but also business opportunities.

Anzinger together with Prof. Dr. Andre Guettler (Strategic Management and Finance) and Prof. Dr. Frank Kargl (Computer Science) at the University of Ulm, benefits from such practical insights. The lecture showed how established financial institutions can sensibly integrate blockchain technology while building on their existing strengths. Many thanks to our guest speaker for these valuable insights!
