Through his work, Adrian has helped impact more than 100,000 children and delivered thousands of devices to students who would otherwise lack access to the tools needed in a rapidly changing digital world. Adrian is also a co-founder of Kids Dreams Matter, an organization built around the belief that every child’s dreams deserve support, encouragement, and the resources to flourish. This movement partners with communities, schools, and champions to celebrate and equip children with the tools — from computers to bikes — that help them pursue their aspirations. kidsdreamsmatter.org Originally from Slovakia, Adrian’s journey into technology began at a young age and grew into a lifelong mission to make tech accessible and meaningful for all children. He advocates not just for access to devices, but for shaping technology and AI to serve humanity’s future generations, emphasizing the importance of protecting children’s mental health and nurturing their dreams in an increasingly digital age.
