About the panel:
Quantum technology is entering the same frontier phase that once fueled space exploration, autonomous transportation and global grand challenges. In this closing keynote, the session will explore how quantum as a dual-use technology can help address urgent global challenges while also creating significant economic opportunity. Looking ahead 10 to 20 years, this keynote explores how quantum capabilities in sensing, computing and communications could transform energy resilience, climate adaptation, defence readiness, medical breakthroughs and global security. It challenges industry leaders, innovators and investors to embrace moonshot thinking: to build responsibly, scale collaboratively and unlock a future where quantum technologies become essential tools for human progress.
