Dr Kieran Bjergstrom is an expert in strategic technology transformation, especially of the Blue Economy, marine and maritime sectors. With a background in quantum technologies and a PhD in Quantum System Engineering he has developed principles and approaches for low technology readiness level (TRL) technology development and maturation, bridging "valley-of-death issues", and managing the risk of cutting-edge technology adoption.
He has worked nationally and internationally with governments, large business, defence, investors and technologists to inform and guide strategic decision making, investment and analysis. Amongst a wide variety of technologies he has worked on, Kieran retains a keen personal interest in Quantum Technologies, resilient Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and large-scale artificial intelligence and machine learning systems for situational awareness and governance, especially of the oceans.
