David Shaw, a distinguished professional with a comprehensive background spanning various sectors, including technology, healthcare, energy, and financial services, is a speaker at the IQT Nordics conference in June 2024. Shaw’s extensive experience in senior executive roles across public and private companies underscores his adeptness in navigating complex industries and driving innovation and strategic growth. As the Chief Analyst of Global Quantum Intelligence (GQI), Shaw has gained valuable insights into how quantum technology influences other sectors.
Educated in physics with a degree from Oxford and a PhD from University College London (UCL), Shaw’s academic foundation in the sciences has been a cornerstone of his career. His membership in the Institute of Physics further signifies his commitment to the field and its professional community. This strong scientific background, combined with his executive experience, positions Shaw uniquely at the intersection of science and business, enabling him to contribute valuable perspectives on the commercialization and strategic development of technological innovations, especially through his tenure at GQI.
David Shaw’s entrepreneurial spirit is evident in his founding of Fact Based Insight, an initiative offering in-depth analysis and advisory services within the quantum technology sector. His vision for Fact-Based Insight was to demystify and disseminate knowledge about the rapidly evolving quantum industry, making it accessible to stakeholders across different sectors. The subsequent merger of fact-based insight with the Quantum Computing Report and Interference Advisors to form GQI marks a significant milestone in Shaw’s journey, amplifying his impact on the global quantum community.
At the IQT Nordics conference, Shaw is expected to share insights drawn from his work with GQI, exploring the quantum technology sector’s current landscape and future prospects. His presentation will likely address the challenges and opportunities in translating quantum research into viable business solutions, the importance of cross-sector collaboration, and strategies for navigating the complex ecosystem of quantum technology development and commercialization.
