November 19, 2024 — Events Venture Group (EVG), a powerhouse collective of world-class founders, serial entrepreneurs, top-tier event operators, and forward-thinking industry thought leaders, proudly announces the successful completion of its first investment deal with Quantum World Congress (QWC). This landmark achievement underscores EVG’s commitment to empowering the next generation of event entrepreneurs through strategic funding, expert mentorship, and a collaborative community.
EVG closed its inaugural investment deal with Quantum World Congress, led by an exceptional team including Stu Solomon, Karl Darin, and George Thomas. The deal was championed by Douglas Emslie, a renowned leader in the events industry, who guided the assessment process with precision and expertise. QWC was impressed by the depth of understanding, rigorous assessment, and strategic input from EVG’s members. “Working with EVG has already been transformative for QWC, providing us with both capital, invaluable insights, and a powerful network to drive innovation,” Solomon said.
QWC is at the forefront of leveraging quantum technology across defense, aerospace, life sciences, and cybersecurity sectors. Douglas experienced the event in person in September. “The event was more international than I expected with strong representation from Japan, Korea, Scandinavia, Canada, Germany, the UK, and Australia. Good mix of academics, government, corporates, and venture capitalists.”
Through this investment, EVG members are fueling QWC’s vision with capital, mentorship, and a network of unparalleled connections. This milestone underscores EVG’s commitment to identifying and supporting the most promising event entrepreneurs and businesses shaping the future of the industry.
