Join this free after-work-talk and hear two excellent speakers talk about the significance and the potential of quantum technology in the academic world and in the startup community.

The idea behind these Community Talks is to create a forum where all the interesting, creative and curious people in our community can meet, network, share knowledge, learn and be inspired.

Jonatan Kutchinsky has a PhD in physics and is a serial entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience with being part several science-based startups. He co-founded the Danish quantum-startup QDevil in 2016 which in 2022 became part of the global large-scale quantum startup Quantum Machines.
