"Quantum computing is moving fast — faster than most investors expected. But translating scientific breakthrough into investable business remains one of the most complex challenges in deep tech venture capital. This session takes stock of where the technology actually stands, which applications are closest to commercial viability and what the investment landscape looks like today.
The discussion will examine where value is likely to be created first: in hardware, software, error correction, quantum-as-a-service or the enabling infrastructure that surrounds the technology. Panellists will explore which sectors — from financial services and logistics to defence, healthcare and materials science — are best positioned to benefit early, and what it takes for a quantum startup to be considered genuinely investable."
