A convener, speaker, and contributor to international discussions on emerging technologies and human capability.
Alicia Fawcett
Founder, Global Quantum for Women
Quantum Innovation · Women’s Leadership · Workforce Development · Global Collaboration
Alicia Fawcett is the Founder of Global Quantum for Women, a platform dedicated to advancing women’s participation and leadership in quantum technologies while fostering global collaboration, knowledge exchange, and thought leadership.
Her work focuses on the relationship between emerging technologies and human capability, with particular attention to quantum workforce readiness, education, inclusive leadership, and the development of internationally connected innovation ecosystems.
Through Global Quantum for Women, she seeks to create opportunities for meaningful engagement between researchers, entrepreneurs, technology leaders, academic institutions, policymakers, and professionals from diverse disciplines.
Her vision is grounded in the belief that the quantum future must be shaped not only by those developing the technology, but also by the people and institutions responsible for translating scientific progress into economic and societal value.
Building the Quantum Future Means Building Human Capability
“Quantum technologies represent an extraordinary opportunity for scientific and technological progress. But their long-term impact will depend on our ability to develop the people, leadership, and global ecosystems capable of using them.
We must expand the conversation beyond technology itself and examine how education, access to opportunity, international collaboration, and inclusive leadership will shape the quantum era.
My vision for Global Quantum for Women is to create a platform where knowledge, ideas, and people come together to advance a quantum future that is both innovative and inclusive.”
Contributing to the Wider Intellectual Conversation
Beyond her work advancing women’s participation in quantum technologies, Alicia Fawcett is committed to contributing to the wider intellectual conversation on emerging technologies and their implications for society.
Her areas of interest include quantum workforce readiness, technological transformation, the future of education, women’s leadership, global innovation ecosystems, and the relationship between scientific progress and social and economic development.
Through speaking engagements, expert discussions, moderated conversations, and international collaboration, she works to connect technical innovation with broader questions of leadership, institutional preparedness, opportunity, and responsible technological development.
Her approach emphasizes interdisciplinary exchange and the importance of making complex technological developments accessible to wider professional and public audiences.
