Dr. Christian Reitberger has spent 26 years turning physics research into companies and holds a PhD in physics from the University of Vienna with sub auspiciis praesidentis, a very selective Austrian honor, plus research experience at CERN. He actively advocates for heterogeneous compute systems that combine multiple hardware approaches rather than relying on single vendors like Nvidia, and regularly participates in European semiconductor investment platforms where he shapes discussions on countering monopolized AI infrastructure and Europe's industrial sovereignty in chips.
