Dr Paweł Gora – Scientist, IT specialist, philanthropist and entrepreneur working mainly on the applications of AI (especially in transportation and medicine) and quantum computing. Graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics of the University of Warsaw (M.Sc. in Mathematics, M.Sc. in Computer Science, and Ph.D. in Computer Science), he was later a Postdoctoral Researcher at Sano. 

He is the founder and CEO of the “Quantum AI Foundation” http://www.qaif.org, which aims to support education and research in new technologies (especially AI and quantum computing) by organizing meetups (e.g., Warsaw.AI and Warsaw Quantum Computing Group), workshops on quantum computing, conferences, competitions and hackathons, as well as publishing newsletters (Warsaw.AI News and QPoland Newsletter) and moderating social media groups and profiles related to AI and quantum computing and ITS. 

He is also the Chairperson of the Board of QWorld and Coordinator of one of its local QCousins, QPoland. He also collaborates with several startups serving as a technical and business advisor.

He has more than 15 years of experience in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). He has worked on projects related to modeling and simulation of transport networks, traffic management systems, carpooling/vanpooling services, bike-sharing services, electric vehicles, connected and autonomous vehicles, intelligent parking systems, optimization of logistics. He built a microscopic traffic simulation software, Traffic Simulation Framework, and used it for experiments with AI (graph neural networks, reinforcement learning) to optimize traffic signal settings in the TensorCell research group, which he founded in 2017 and which aims to optimize complex processes using AI.

He has received several awards, e.g., “Lider ITS” award for the best R&D work in the ITS domain in Poland. “MIT Technology Review” recognized him as one of 10 Top Polish Talents in the “MIT Innovators Under 35” competition. In 2017, he was also placed on the list “NEW EUROPE 100” of emerging technology stars in Eastern Europe.

In the past, he worked as a software engineering intern or research intern at Microsoft, Google, CERN and IBM Research, was also a representative of Poland in the Management Committee of the COST Action “Wider Impacts and Scenario Evaluation of Autonomous and Connected Transport”, and a member of the Council for Digitalization.

Michał Kutwin is a graduate of the University of Warsaw, he earned a master's degree in law and computer science. He also completed doctoral studies in both these fields. Besides being on the Board of Fundacja Quantum AI, he works as an AI specialist and teaches computer science students. 

Dominik Andrzejczuk is a Polish-American entrepreneur & venture capitalist. In 2010, Dominik started his career as an engineer & founder in Palo Alto, California, and in 2014 became a venture capitalist, where he worked for one of the founders of Yahoo!, investing in a deep tech company in its early stages.

Dominik then moved to Poland in 2018 and founded Atmos Ventures, where he also invested in a deep tech companies in their early stages, but with a geographic focus on Central and Eastern Europe. Dominik has 10 years of experience in investing in transformative technologies such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced energy, and biotechnology. Dominik is also an avid triathlete and currently lives with his wife in Warsaw, Poland.

Originally from Spain, Andres Abad Rodriguez is an engineer who has developed most of his career in Switzerland. Since August of this year, he has been leading the Technology and Operations group at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an organization that has vaccinated over 1 billion children. This is his primary role, which he combines with his responsibilities as a professor of Digital Transformation and AI in the MBA programs at IFM Business School, and as the Founder and Director of the Astai Forum think tank.

Prior to these positions, Andres held various leadership roles in top-tier international organizations such as CERN, WHO, WIPO, UNICC, and IFRC, as well as in the private sector with Wella Company
