In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Jesper Kamp, Regional Director for Europe at Atom Computing, to explore how quantum computing is redefining what’s possible in innovation. Jesper and I first met at TechBBQ in Copenhagen, surrounded by thousands of entrepreneurs, scientists, and visionaries. Our conversation picks up where that meeting left off, inside the historic Niels Bohr Institute, where we dive into how this extraordinary technology will change the way we analyze data, design products, and solve the world’s biggest challenges.
Jesper shares his remarkable journey from diplomacy to deep tech, describing how his twenty-five years at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs led him to roles in Silicon Valley, China, Turkey, and beyond. Now at Atom Computing, he’s helping Europe harness the world’s most powerful quantum systems to accelerate discovery and innovation across industries, from pharmaceuticals to materials science.
This isn’t a technical lecture. It’s a conversation about what every innovator, product leader, and entrepreneur needs to know about the quantum era that’s arriving faster than most people realize. Jesper explains how quantum and classical computing will soon work hand in hand, why companies must prepare their teams now, and how the next wave of breakthroughs will come from those ready to experiment early. If you’ve ever wondered how quantum computing will shape your world, this episode will leave you rethinking the future of innovation itself.
