The event features a keynote speech from successful entrepreneur Markus Pflitsch, CEO and Founder of Terra Quantum.

Markus is a dedicated quantum physicist, senior financial executive and deep tech entrepreneur. He believes in the competitive advantage of quantum tech and is committed to support the European ecosystem to unlock its value. Since he was 14 years old, Markus has been a quantum physics enthusiast. He built on that passion, studying mathematics and physics, and accomplished a research career at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

 

Before founding Terra Quantum in 2019, his curious mind and business acumen led him to pursue his profession in the business and finance industry. Starting at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Europe and North America, he applied his expertise in the financial services industry. He spent additional years working as chief financial officer and senior executive in various corporations (Deutsche Bank, UniCredit), as well as owner-managed digital and high-tech companies. Ultimately, he decided to leverage his expertise in quantum physics, business and finance to become an entrepreneur in the quantum tech space.

 

Early 2022, Terra Quantum raised an extra-ordinary USD 75 million Series A from investors. Terra Quantum is also a winner of the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2022.

 

Markus will talk about Terra Quantum and share details about the journey of building a successful deep tech company. He will also help answer some of your questions during the Q&A session:

  • How to become an entrepreneur? 
  • How to validate my idea?
  • How to fund my idea?
