Welcome to the third edition of The Metrology of Leadership, a newsletter uncovering the philosophies, secrets and mindsets of executives across the metrology and precision analytical instrumentation industry.
Where MEP sits right now: more regulatory pressure on the power and water side of the business, more competition for the right engineers, more consolidation, and higher stakes on every live building system.
PLRB always tells you something about where the claims sector is heading; you just have to piece it together from a dozen different conversations. This year, four threads kept surfacing: fewer claims coming through, AI moving from panel talk to job titles, PE circling harder than ever, and firms racing to build out full-service platforms.
Since we last spoke, I had the pleasure of attending ECR 2026 in Vienna and as always, a brilliant showcase of what is happening across medical imaging in Europe and globally, it’s always a great reminder of just how fast this industry moves. The energy on the floor was fantastic, and the conversations around AI adoption, workflow integration, and clinical validation were sharper than ever.
Welcome back to MEP Pulse. This month’s edition sits firmly in data center territory, and if you work across MEP in that space, the market dynamics we’re covering have direct implications for where the work is, where the investment is flowing, and where the talent demand is heading next.
Each month, I sit down with a leading industry figure to explore technology, market trends, and the future of the field. In this edition, I spoke with Hannu Kauppinen, CEO & Co-Founder of QMill, a quantum software company focused on developing algorithms for the NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era.
QMill is building quantum circuit optimisation and compression tools designed to make today’s imperfect quantum hardware more effective, while bridging the gap between research breakthroughs and practical real-world applications.
Each month, I sit down with a leading industry figure to explore technology, market trends, and the future of the field. In this edition, I spoke with Himadri Majumdar, CEO and Co-Founder of SemiQon, a deep-tech startup developing cryogenically-optimized CMOS technology to enable scalable quantum computing. Himadri and his team are focused on turning breakthrough science into practical, commercially viable quantum hardware, building platforms that could shape the next generation of quantum systems.
Each month, I connect with a leading industry figure to discuss technology, market trends, and the future of the field. This month, I spoke with Yianni Gamvros, the CEO and co-founder of Quantum Signals, a startup applying AI and quantum-inspired techniques to deliver actionable market predictions for institutional traders.
Each month, I connect with a leading industry figure to discuss technology, market trends, and the future of the field. This edition features Jan Goetz the CEO & Co-Founder of IQM, a forerunner in quantum computing whose team is developing some of Europe’s most advanced superconducting quantum processors and driving the continent’s efforts in scalable, next-generation quantum hardware.
Each month, I connect with a leading industry figure to discuss technology, market trends, and the future of the field. This edition features Niccolò Somaschi the CEO & Co-Founder of Quandela, a pioneer in photonic quantum computing and one of Europe’s first quantum hardware founders.
