Atom Computing Strengthens European Presence with Appointment of Former Danish Ambassador Jesper Kamp as Regional Director
Wednesday, August 13, 2025
BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Atom Computing, a pioneer in scalable quantum computing built on neutral atoms, today announced a significant step in its commitment to the European quantum ecosystem with the appointment of Jesper Kamp as Regional Director for Europe. He will be based in Atom Computing's Denmark office, effective immediately.
Kamp brings two decades of distinguished leadership in diplomacy, innovation policy, and strategic international engagement. Most recently, he served as Ambassador, Consul General, and CEO of Innovation Centre Denmark in Silicon Valley under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Kamp's experience at the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and global public affairs will be instrumental as Atom Computing deepens its Danish and European presence and strengthens cross-sector collaboration within the rapidly emerging quantum ecosystem.
Dr. Ben Bloom, CEO and Founder of Atom Computing, commented: "Europe plays an increasingly critical role in shaping the global quantum landscape. Jesper's unique background in diplomacy and innovation will help us build meaningful partnerships that advance the development and responsible deployment of quantum technologies. His appointment reflects our commitment to engaging strategically with European institutions, industry leaders, and governments to accelerate the path toward quantum advantage."
Jesper Kamp added: "After more than 20 inspiring years in the Foreign Service, I am proud to join Atom Computing, a global frontrunner in quantum technology. The evolution of quantum and atom-based computing is no longer a scientific frontier alone; it is a strategic imperative for Europe's technological sovereignty, security infrastructure, and economic resilience. I look forward to contributing to Atom Computing's mission and forging strong partnerships across the region."
This appointment builds on Atom Computing's increasing engagement in the region. Novo Nordisk Foundation and EIFO (Export and Investment Fund of Denmark), recently announced their $93 million investment to establish QuNorth and acquire "Magne," the world's most powerful quantum computer. Magne, which will be located in Copenhagen, will be powered by Atom Computing's neutral atom hardware and further solidify Denmark's role in advancing both the European and global quantum ecosystems.
With Kamp's leadership, Atom Computing will further align its European initiatives with its global mission: to accelerate the path to practical quantum advantage through scalable, high-fidelity neutral atom quantum computing platforms.
