Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Banking’s Quantum Future with Lloyd’s Banking Clare Schramm Fergus
Q: What do regulators want from banks in this transition, and how is the UK government supporting this?
Regulators want explainability, safe testing environments, and risk-quantified pilots; institutions are encouraged to lean into quantum but do so with guardrails and collaboration with bodies like the Bank of England and FCA.
Inside Banking’s Quantum Future with Lloyd’s Banking Clare Schramm Fergus
Q: How prepared are Lloyds and what are you doing to mitigate risk and stay ahead?
Lloyds is pursuing a quantum-ready posture by following NIST guidelines, running fraud and liquidity simulations, collaborating with IBM and Google as strategic partners, and engaging with regulators to ensure safe, auditable pilots in a regulated environment.
Inside Banking’s Quantum Future with Lloyd’s Banking Clare Schramm Fergus
Q: Could you talk a bit to us about what that threat indeed is for the banking world?
The threat lies in quantum capable of breaking current crypto encryption, which could disrupt interbank settlement, trade finance, and global liquidity, so banks need to prepare with quantum-safe standards and defense-in-depth strategies.
Quantum Technologies and the Future of Security, with John Ridge CBE & Joab Rosenberg
Q: How do you balance financial returns with strategic security objectives?
There are three goals: enabling NATO capabilities, delivering financial returns to LPs, and building venture capital momentum; adoption and portfolio support are central to achieving scale and practical impact while maintaining financial discipline.
Quantum Technologies and the Future of Security, with John Ridge CBE & Joab Rosenberg
Q: What does the NATO Innovation Fund actually do, and what is the role of the Chief Adoption Officer?
The fund pools capital from 24 allies to invest in dual-use tech for defence, security, and resilience, with a portfolio-facing focus on adoption—helping startups link with government customers and industry partners to scale, while also guiding protection of IP and responsible use of AI.
