Bridging the Gap between Innovation and Application

When and how can quantum computing be effectively applied to solve real-world problems and enhance business operations?

What policies should I implement in my organization to prepare it for the quantum revolution? Is now the right time?

The goal of the Quantum Computing Hub event is to answer these questions by bringing together a diverse range of individuals — from private and public sector experts to those curious about quantum innovation.
