We were delighted to have been invited to provide panellists including our CTO Tim Cassidy, and one of our Board members Sir David Capewell, for discussions focused on Data Science, Quantum, and AI, at the prestigious Chicago Booth University Data Science conference this month. Aker provided expertise for the discussions on both Data Science and Quantum, not least around the role of ultra secure cloud data infrastructure in preparing for a Quantum future. We were particularly pleased to see the direct links drawn between how effective data availability and management, enhances business and financial value for organisations; and in particular how important Aker’s focus on secure data infrastructure is in optimising this.
