Last Friday, Infinity’s Pavel Kalinin moderated a conversation on venture building in academic environments during a Quantum Meets event organised by Quantum Delta and the European Quantum Industry Consortium.
The panelists were:
- Remon Berrevoets, Co-founder and Director of Research Development at Q*Bird
- Jessie Qin-Dregely, COO at Single Quantum
- Thorsten Last, Co-founder and Director of D&E at OrangeQS
The European Quantum landscape has strong potential rooted in academic excellence, international talent, and robust support systems.
But what can be done to make it even stronger? Here are some ideas the panelists discussed:
- Policymakers and startups could benefit from streamlined communication, ensuring that the regulatory environment strengthens venture-building
- Universities play a crucial role in preparing talent for the quantum workforce. Startups can support this process with increased presence & awareness on campus
- Best practices and experiences should be shared and communicated more transparently, providing valuable learning opportunities from successful ventures
