Karina : Quantum Reinvention

Karina Robinson FCSI (Hon) is CEO of Redcliffe Advisory, providing Chairman and CEO advisory services. A champion of the City of London and a benign disruptor, she connects the worlds of Deep Tech, Finance and Defence.

In the Deep Tech world, she's Senior Advisor to Multiverse Computing, Europe's latest AI & Quantum unicorn, and Founder of The City Quantum & AI Summit, now heading into its sixth year. She contributed to shaping NATO's Quantum Strategy.

Karina is an Adviser to MissionLink, a national security and innovation group, and to The Entrepreneurs Network. She is an Emeritus Governor of the London School of Economics.

In the City, she chaired the Lord Mayor's Appeal Advisory Board and served as a Trustee, helping grow it into a lasting institution, and was Master of the Worshipful Company of International Bankers.

The first half of her career was spent as a journalist covering finance and international politics, firstly as Political & Economic Correspondent at Bloomberg and then as Senior Editor of The Banker magazine.  As a digital immigrant, she is still bemused that the second half of her career is in frontier technologies.

We will have a very good full sit-down dinner and a nice wine selection at 67 Pall Mall (beautiful wine club, if you've never been).

Please sign up early as we only have 12 places for this event.

PS: if you are not sure what this is about, a quick extract from an FT article "Unlike the bits in conventional computers that register only as a zero or a one, quantum “qubits” can increase calculating power by existing in combinations of both and becoming “entangled”. The industry hopes to harness these properties to produce machines capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of current technology.The results could be extremely valuable, he added, “from developing new medicines and improving batteries to tackling problems in energy and climate”.
