Dr. Kris Naudts Speaking Topics
Quantum isn’t a buzzword. It’s an industrial revolution. Unless specific steps are taken to mitigate that outcome, Quantum is an industrial revolution and will create a multi-speed world with nations that are haves and have-nots, and all the consequences one can imagine that to have. It will reshape how we compute, communicate, and diagnose or cure disease. With quantum technology moving from theory to real-world impact, this talk focuses on quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communications/ cryptography, and how it will bring in a whole set of new solutions in healthcare, climate science, finance, cybersecurity and such like. It also covers the geopolitical landscape and rivalry when it comes to quantum, as a critical technology, and fears of Q-day, when quantum computers would break current encryption and expose everything from banking details to government secrets.
When a psychiatrist changed career and raised $130 million in venture capital for his start-up.
Dr Naudts left a high-flying career in academic forensic psychiatry, to found and build his own start-up into one of the most successful new travel and media brands in the world, with offices in US, China, Israel and UK, and 100s of staff and contributors all over the world. At its peak, the site attracted nearly 20 million monthly visitors to our site and saw app downloads grow to nearly 3 million. Its social media following grew to 8 million, with their videos having been viewed ca. 2 billion times pre-Covid. During Dr Naudts's time at the helm of CT, they won almost 50 (!) awards, including App of the Day in US and UK by Apple, and 2 prestigious Webby Awards. This is the story of how he did it, the highs, the lows, against the backdrop of a decade of huge geopolitical, technological and personal changes.
To thrive in the 21st century, the most important skill a parent can teach their child today. It's not coding - it's knowledge about Chinese culture and history.
Dr Naudts has been an avid China watcher for several years, and keenly reads or listens to almost all China-related news and history he comes across in the major broadsheets, magazines, or podcasts. In the past 2 years alone, he read about 50 books of Chinese fiction and works on Chinese politics, history, language, art, tech and business. He recently also completed a Masters of Chinese Painting at SOAS in London.

Dr Naudts is also currently working on a novel, large parts of which are situated in Shanghai and Chongqing. This talks charts his personal and intellectual journey towards China literacy.
