We are very excited to announce that our guest speaker for this first brunch in autumn will be Jade Robinson, Co-Founder of Linq Photonics. Through her work, she is contributing to the development of new technologies while building a company in a highly innovative and rapidly evolving field. 

Drawing from her experience as a founder, Jade will share insights into her entrepreneurial journey, the challenges and opportunities of building a deep-tech startup, and the lessons she has learned while turning a vision into a growing company. She will also reflect on her experiences as a female entrepreneur and the importance of persistence, innovation, and creating new pathways in technology-driven industries.
