Kris Kaczmarek, Quantum Investor at 2xN is an IQT the Hague 2024 Speaker
The IQT The Hague conference, renowned for spotlighting the forefront of quantum technology developments and their market applications, is set to feature Kris Kaczmarek, a distinguished Quantum Investor at 2xN. This venture fund is dedicated to catalyzing the quantum revolution by strategically investing in pioneering quantum technology startups poised to define the next wave of innovation. Kaczmarek’s unique perspective, grounded in academic excellence and practical experience in the quantum computing industry, positions him as an insightful voice at the nexus of investment and technological breakthrough.
Before embracing the role of an investor, Kaczmarek led product development at ORCA Computing, a venture-backed initiative emanating from his doctoral research. ORCA Computing stands at the cutting edge of quantum computer development, particularly targeting enhancements in artificial intelligence capabilities. This direct involvement in translating quantum computing from a theoretical concept to a viable, market-ready technology has given Kaczmarek a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in commercializing quantum innovations, which he leverages at 2xN.
At 2xN, Kaczmarek’s work involves identifying and nurturing early-stage companies that not only promise to push the boundaries of quantum technology but also have the potential to disrupt traditional industries with quantum-enhanced solutions. His role necessitates a keen eye for technical viability, market potential, and the strategic foresight to navigate the intricate landscape of quantum technology investment.
During the IQT The Hague conference, Kaczmarek is expected to share invaluable insights into the quantum technology investment landscape, highlighting emerging trends, investment strategies, and the pivotal role of venture capital in accelerating the quantum revolution, using his work at 2xN as an example. His presentation will likely explore the criteria for successful quantum tech investments, the challenges of assessing technological and market readiness, and the importance of fostering a robust ecosystem that bridges the gap between quantum researchers and the marketplace.
IQT The Hague 2024 is the Netherlands’ fifth global conference and exhibition. The Hague is a Quantum Technology Event focusing on Quantum Networking and Quantum Security. Ten vertical topics encompassing more than 40 panel talks from over 100 speakers will provide attendees with a deep understanding of state-of-the-art developments of the future quantum internet and the current impact of quantum-safe technologies on cybersecurity and quantum computers.
The conference brings together corporate management, entrepreneurs, end users, technology providers, infrastructure partners, researchers, and investors working on current developments. IQT The Hague is organized by 3DR Holdings, IQT Research, QuTech, QIA (Quantum Internet Alliance), and Quantum Delta NL, who will bring leading organizations and professionals together in this important event. The April conference is “in-person” to ensure maximum networking and discussion at the Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre in The Hague.
