Join an afternoon session with Daniel Stilck França, Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen and one of Denmark's leading researchers in quantum computing, as he explores how quantum algorithms could impact the insurance and pension sector.
This event welcomes everyone with an interest in the field — whether you work with risk, modelling, trading, portfolio construction, optimisation or strategy development. No prior expertise is required, only curiosity and a willingness to share your questions and perspectives.
Topic: Daniel discusses quantum approaches to risk estimation and optimisation, explaining where mathematical speedups are established and what assumptions they require. Examples from portfolio optimisation models and financial risk management illustrate both opportunities and limitations, providing a foundation for discussing which insurance and pension challenges merit further exploration.
Organisers: Insurance & Pension Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Nordic Innovation Fair and Nordic Fintech Center bring together researchers, university administrators, industry representatives and innovation professionals to create new collaborations and research-based solutions.
Practical Information: The event takes place in F&P's canteen. The day concludes with coffee, tea, cake and informal conversations. Online participation is available, but in-person attendance is recommended for networking and direct discussion with the speaker and organisers.
