The objective of this workshop is to engage a broad audience from the academic, innovation, public sector and business communities to explore real opportunities associated with the adoption of emerging quantum technologies. A ‘broad audience” refers to a business and innovation-driven audience that goes beyond quantum domain experts and includes those who focus on value that can be created in the near term by adopting existing and emerging quantum technologies.

The workshop will adopt a participatory format where renown Invited Speakers will provide an opportunity-driven perspective on their specific domains but also engage in conversations that the participants care about, tailor the discussions to their interests by sharing relevant insights and exploring open-ended questions.

Examples of questions that will be directed towards participants:

• Which part of the talks did resonate with you and why? What are the follow up questions you would like to raise?
• Where do you see a potential role for quantum technologies in your specific business or innovation context? 
• Did you identify a potential opportunity for you, your organization or business sector that is worth pursuing?
• What stops you from acting at this moment?
• What type of partners are you looking for to engage further in exploring specific quantum technology-related opportunity? 

The participatory format will be enhanced by networking sessions and breakout room conversations involving groups of interest that could discuss potential partnerships & cooperation.
