This exclusive Deep Tech Week gathering convenes leaders across quantum, semiconductors, advanced sensing, and defense technologies for an afternoon of insight, discussion, and strategic connection.
Hosted at JPMorgan Chase, the program brings together founders, investors, technologists, and industry leaders to explore and discuss transformative innovations at the intersection of quantum technologies, security, and real-world infrastructure.
The afternoon will open with remarks from Charles Beyrouthy, Managing Partner at Forma Prime, a market-setting keynote from world renowned quantum expert, Dr. Robert Sutor on the evolving quantum landscape as well as presentations from Forma Prime’s various portfolio companies.
In addition, JPMorgan Chase leaders will discuss the firm’s $1.5 trillion, 10-year Security and Resiliency Initiative, aimed at financing and investing in critical industries including energy, defense, strategic technologies, and supply chains—creating space for strategic dialogue around commercialization pathways and future industry disruption.
The program will also feature a spotlight panel on Infleqtion, a Forma Prime portfolio company and its journey to the public markets. Key leaders including Pranav Gokhal, CTO at Infleqtion will be in attendance. As a neutral-atom quantum computing pioneer and the first company in its category to go public, we will deep dive into their scalable quantum systems, precision sensing and their ability to turn laboratory innovations into mission critical systems.
Attendees will gain deep insights into Forma Prime’s portfolio with presentations from key leaders including:
- Ryan Guterman - CEO of FaradaIC Sensors
- Alex Maierean - CEO at Phantom Photonics
- Christian Wentz - CEO of Gradient Technologies
- Fawwaz Habbal - CEO at Metaphos
The event will conclude with applied use-case discussions, closing remarks, and networking with food and beverages.
