Q*Bird focuses on securing communications against the threat posed by quantum computers to existing encryption methods. It is a topic that has rapidly gained relevance within the Dutch high-tech sector in recent years. The fact that Romijn is involved in this both in her role as CEO and in her board position at Holland High Tech underlines just how closely entrepreneurship and ecosystem development are intertwined in this sector.

In this episode, Romijn discusses the strength of Delft’s quantum ecosystem – the environment in which Q*Bird was founded and in which the company continues to operate. Within the Netherlands, Delft is regarded as one of the most important hubs for quantum technology, with close collaboration between research institutions, start-ups and scale-ups.
